Middle Temple Hall, completed in 1574, is late-Gothic in style. Its attractions are a rare double-hammer beam roof, an intricately carved screen (which, although heavily damaged by a World War Two bomb in 1940, was expertly restored), stained glass windows, heraldic coats of arms, a Minstrels' Gallery and some fine oak panelling. Elizabeth I dined in this historic hall on many occasions, as did Sir Francis Drake and fellow explorers Frobisher and Hawkins. Shakespeare performed here at Candlemas in 1602 in the first recorded production of 'Twelfth Night'.
