Bernard’s Inn

Formerly called Mackworth Inn, from Dean Mackworth, who died 1454.

“This house was, in the thirty-first year of the reign of Henry VI., a messuage belonging to Dr. John Mackworth, dean of the cathedral church of Lincoln, and at that time in the holding of one Lionel Bernard … . and it hath ever since retained the name of Bernard’s Inn.”—Harleian MSS. No. 1104.
