Today is #HeritageTreasures Day and to mark this occasion we shall tell you the story of one of the Inner Temple's treasures. A rather fetching flying horse. Pull up a chair and we shall begin ...
The ‘Flying Horse’ is a white marble relief sculpture of the Inner Temple’s Pegasus emblem. Walking around the Temple you will see a number of carvings of the Pegasus (some flying others not), but this one has a particular story to tell.
Originally commissioned in 1737 it has enjoyed time in the spotlight, fallen into relative obscurity, been rediscovered to much fanfare, had a near-death experience, and along the way collected some very notable fans.
