, sumptibus Medii Templi extructaanno 1681 Gulielmo Whitelocke armigero, thesaurario. The very ancient portico of the Templars being consumed byfire in the year 16/8, these new buildings were erected at the expenseof the Middle Temple in the year 1681, during the treasurership ofWilliam Whitelocke, esq. The cloisters of the Templars formed the medium of communi-cation between the hall, the church, and the cells of the servingbrethren of the order. During the formation of the present new entrance into the Templeby the church, at the bottom of the Inner Temple-lane, a considerableportion of the brickwork of the old houses was pulled down, and anancient wall of great thickness was disclosed. It was composed ofchalk, ragstone, and rubble, exactly resembling the walls of thechurch. It ran in a direction east and west, and appeared to haveformed the extreme northern boundary of the old convent. The site of the remaining buildings of the ancient Temple cannotnow be determined with certainty.
