Formerly Mountjoy’s Inn, the Doctors’ Commons, Knightrider Street was the
meeting place for the Doctors’ Commons,
where they kept a common table and built up a precious library of foreign law books(Baker 180). Eventually, the Doctors’ Commons, Knightrider Street housed five courts: the Court of Arches, the Prerogative Court, the Court of Faculties and Dispensations, the Consistory Court of the Bishop of London, and the High Court of Admiralty (Harben). Henry Harben notes that the building burned down in the Great Fire of 1666 and was subsequently rebuilt on the same site (Harben). The building was sold in 1865 after the Doctors’ Commons was dissolved (Baker 181).
