Barnard's Inn in Holborn dates back to the mid-13th century. It is now the home of Gresham College which has been providing free public lectures since 1597. Over the centuries it has been a law school and home to the Mercers' School. Notable architectural elements include 15th-century wooden bays, 16th-century linen fold wood panelling, and has the only surviving crown posts in Greater London.
