India Wright

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge, studying within the Department of Architecture as a member of Gonville and Caius College. My research is jointly funded by the AHRC and the Isaac Newton Trust and conducted under the supervision of Dr Frank Salmon. My study examines the architecture of the Inns of Court and Chancery during the seventeenth century, looking for the first time at the buildings of the four Inns of Court and the now defunct Inns of Chancery as a collective. My work expands upon my Masters’ dissertation, which focused on the redevelopment of Middle Temple after the Restoration. Completed as part of the MSt in Building History at Cambridge, it won the Institute of Historic Building Conservation’s Gus Astley Award for 2021. My research interests encompass the history and architecture of the Early Modern period, with a particular focus on the development of London.
