Rebuilt 1678 or 1698?[edit]
In the "Buildings in King's Bench Walk" section, it is stated that the building "was rebuilt in 1678…." The building’s inscription is supposed to read as follows: "Conflagratam Ano 1677. Fabricatam Ano 1678. Richardo Powell Armiger Thesaurar." However, in the "In literature" section, R. Austin Freeman’s quote of the inscription is as follows: "Conflagratam Ano 1677. Fabricatam Ano 1698. Richardo Powell Armiger Thesaurar." The question arises [not "begs"], "Was the building rebuilt in 1678 or 1698?" In The Aethenaenum, Number 2706, 6 September 1879, page 302, it is suggested that it was rebuilt in 1677 or 1678. In The London Encyclopedia, Third Edition (London: Macmillan London Ltd., 2008), page 431, the following words occur: "King’s Bench Walk. The greater part was built in red brick 1677-8 to the designs of Wren…." It seems as though Freeman, an otherwise excellent, superior writer, was wrong to write "1698."Lestrade (talk) 04:47, 14 August 2017 (UTC)Lestrade
