Description
The Inner Temple Gatehouse, located at 17 Fleet Street, is a significant building dating from 1610-11, although it has undergone considerable restoration and rebuilding. The structure features four storeys, with the ground storey set back and adorned with a decorative stone archway dated 1748. A modern shop occupies this level. Above, the two storeys are timber framed and include reconstructed oriel windows. The top storey is recessed and features two plastered gables on a tiled roof, along with a timber balustrade at the front. Inside, there is an altered late 17th-century staircase and an early 17th-century room known as 'Prince Henry's Room' on the first floor, which boasts a fine plaster ceiling and panelling. The rear wing was rebuilt in 1905 and consists of three main storeys, finished in glazed brick and pebbledash.
