Inner Temple History Society Lecture: Sub-Treasurers of The Inner Temple
Thursday 9 May | 18:00
Ever wondered why Inner Temple sticks to the title 'Sub-Treasurer', when all the other Inns have opted for 'Under Treasurer'? Why was a traditionally militarised zone demilitarised? Were relationships between Sub-Treasurers and their Treasurers always trouble-free? The Sub-Treasurer, Greg Dorey CVO, looks back at his predecessors over the centuries and attempts to answer some of these questions.

Revels is a comedy sketch and song show performed by members of the Inn in Middle Temple Hall during Christmas time, comprised of original material and accompanied by a live band.
Revels has a long history going back at least 400 years. It has changed shape over time, but it has always retained the tradition of being a little rebellious.
