The
gatehouse and its adjoining wall are the only parts of the original Cliffords
Inn. The building is listed Grade II and has the following (rather sparse)
information on the National Heritage List for England as follows:
CLIFFORD'S INN EC4 1. 5002 The Gatehouse with Gateway and Screen Wall
to west TQ 3181 SW 7/74 5.6.72. II GV 2.
Early/mid C19. Tudor style. Yellow brick and stone. 2 storeys plus slated
mansard to south; 3 storeys to north. Stone archway with coat of arms
over. Battlements to roof. Old stone tablets in screen wall dated 1682
and 1782.
An earlier listing gave the date of 1832 (thoughthis seems rather early
for the SanSerif lettering) and the architect as John Shaw (?)
There is an explanation of the origina of the curious angled metal plates
on the wall to the right of the picture here
