Serjeants Inn
Serjeants Inn n. (also Serjeants' Inn) Now historical. Any of three buildings in London owned by and accommodating the society of Serjeants-at-Law; (in later use esp.) the building of this kind located on Chancery Lane. Occasionally also: the society of Serjeants-at-Law.The society consisted chiefly of judges, who transferred from an Inn of Court. It dates from the early 15th cent. and formerly had three sites, on Chancery Lane, on Fleet Street, and in Holborn. In 1730 the building on Chancery Lane became the single premises, and in 1877 this was sold and the assets distributed among the members. The society was not formally dissolved, but its last member died in 1921; the building was destroyed in the Second Word War.
