King's Bench Walk, London
King's Bench Walk is a street in Temple, in the City of London. It is mainly made up of barristers' chambers.
==History==
King's Bench Walk is located in the Inner Temple,〔Inner Temple website - (http://www.innertemple.org.uk )〕 one of the four Inns of Court. The other three Inns of Court are Middle Temple,〔Middle Temple website - (https://www.middletemple.org.uk )〕 Lincoln's Inn〔Lincoln's Inn website - (http://www.lincolnsinn.org.uk )〕 and Gray's Inn.〔Gray's Inn website - (https://www.graysinn.org.uk )〕 The area borrows its name from the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon, more commonly known as the Knights Templar which is a historical western Christian military order that was established in 1118AD.
In 1162 the Templars purchased the grounds now known as Temple to be used as their new, larger headquarters. One of the oldest structures still remaining is the Temple Church which was consecrated in 1185.〔Temple Church website - (http://www.templechurch.com )〕〔Lost Worlds: Knights Templar, (10 July 2006 ), History Channel documentary〕 The Temple Bar gateway which stands outside the Royal Courts of Justice and marks the point between Westminster and the City of London also takes its name from the historical Order.〔Temple Bar website - (www.thetemplebar.info )〕
Following the downfall of the Knights Templar in 1307 and its dissolution by Pope Clement V in 1312, the grounds were given to the Knights Hospitaller, Order of St John. It was during the 14th century whilst the Temple was still in Hospitaller possession that two colleges of law were founded within its grounds. By 1388, two distinct societies had formed and they were known as Inner Temple and Middle Temple. Since then, the Temple has been associated with the legal profession and the Bar.〔Bar Council website - (http://www.barcouncil.org.uk )〕
