Historical background
Lincoln's Inn Fields
The oldest building on Lincoln's Inn Fields dates back to the beginning of the 16th century. The square is named after the lawyers’ society Lincoln's Inn whose office was situated in this square. The poet John Donne, who also was a Dean of a local church, left his remarks about an existing tradition: when one of the judges died, the bell tolled and somebody sent a clerk to find out the judge's name. It is assumed that this tradition has connection with Donne’s famous phrase “...and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee".
Lincoln's Inn Fields looks like a small area in the city centre but in reality it is the largest square in London. Many believe that Lincoln's Inn Fields was a model for Central Park in New York. There are a lot of homeless people and beggars sunbathing on the grass of Lincoln's Inn Fields. Just round the corner you can find The Old Curiosity Shop, a 16th-century building holding a title of possibly the oldest shop in London. It is thought that the shop was the inspiration behind Dickens’ novel of the same name. One of the best London’s museums is also situated in the Lincoln's Inn Fields — the Museum of Sir John Soane, a great architect and a true English eccentric fellow.
