GRAY'S INN		VERULAM BUILDINGS A passageway from the north of Gray's Inn Square leads to Verulam Buildings, a long terrace of five large houses parallel with Gray's Inn Road and overlooking the Walks on the other side. They were erected in 1803-11 and named after Francis Bacon (who was created Lord Verulam in 1618), and unfortunately they took the place of the flower garden he had laid out 200 years earlier. They scarcely have the warmth of the older' parts of the Inn, but perhaps their inhabitants may take comfort from the words of him whose name they bear: 'Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let Use be preferred before Uniformity, except where both may be had.'
