Clifford's Inn

Clifford's Inn was an Inn of Chancery, and stood where Clifford's Inn Passage still is situated, off Fleet Street. Founded in 1344 and dissolved in 1903, with its physical demolition occurring in 1934, it was both the first Inn of Chancery founded, and the last, to be demolished. In its day, Clifford's Inn educated students including Edward Coke and John Selden, along with hundreds of others. With its purpose as an institute of legal education complete, the members unanimously voted in 1903 to dissolve the society and give the funds to the Attorney General for England and Wales, which they did.
