Talk:King's Bench Walk, London

Rebuilt 1678 or 1698?
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
