EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic tradition of the Middle Temple Hall's Benchers and Members 'taking Commons' in the grandeur of London's Middle Temple Hall. The scene is set beneath the magnificent hammerbeam roof, a testament to the Hall's rich history that dates back to the 16th century. The Benchers, distinguished members of the Inn of Court, and the Members, young barristers, are seen gathered around long tables laden with fine dining ware and sumptuous food. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and tradition, as the Benchers and Members engage in the age-old custom of 'taking Commons.' This term refers to the communal dining experience, where the Benchers and Members come together to share a meal and discuss legal matters. The tradition of 'taking Commons' has been a cornerstone of Middle Temple's history since the late 18th century. The image is further enhanced by the presence of busts of notable legal figures and historical figures adorning the walls, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The Benchers and Members are dressed in their formal robes, adding to the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion. This photograph, taken circa 1829, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history and traditions of the Middle Temple and the legal profession. The image is a reminder of the importance of tradition and community within the legal profession and the enduring significance of the Middle Temple Hall as a symbol of legal history and heritage.
