CLI RECORDS OF CLIFFORD’S INN These records, which originally belonged to the Society of Clifford’s Inn, were discovered in the vaults of premises in Brick Court occupied by George Thatcher and Son, solicitors, after transfer there from their former offices at 32 Essex Street, the Strand. George Booth, who acted as Secretary to the Society before its demise in 1903, was also based at 32 Essex Street, which explains the presence of the records there. They were donated to the Inner Temple by Frank Wright, a member of the Middle Temple, son-in-law of Alec Thatcher, in April and May 1998 and February 1999. A further two volumes, comprising hall attendance registers from 1873-91, were found in Wildy’s bookshop in Fleet Street, and were donated to the Inner Temple Library by Wildy’s in the 1990s. The only other records known to survive from Clifford’s Inn, one of the three inns of chancery attached to the Inner Temple, are an eighteenth century Principal’s account book and a volume of extracts from the Clifford’s Inn minutes, 1609-1740, held by The National Archives, Kew, (LC9/344) & TS 59/11 respectively) and the sixteenth century rules which used to hang on the wall in the inn and are now held in the Inner Temple Library (Miscellaneous ms. no.189). Scattered references to Clifford’s Inn also appear in the records of the Inner Temple, its parent inn of court.
