Morning all,

Does anyone have any idea how old someone would have to be to be accepted into Lincoln's Inn circa 1486?

I have several family members of my Husband (not mine - they were all ag labs!!) who've been through there, I've had a google, but can't seem to come up with any definitive answers.

Cheers in advance

Heidi

Still couldn't find anything definitive on Google Books.

Joy - Thanks very much for the link, I reckon that's the avenue I'm going to go down next ;o)

Thanks again.
