Newcastle House, Historic mansion in Lincoln's Inn Fields, England
Newcastle House stands as a three-story brick building with stone quoins, two basement levels, and two attic levels in central London.
Built between 1641 and 1642 for the Earl of Carlisle, the house was reconstructed after a fire in 1684 under architect Christopher Wren's direction.
The residence served as the official location for the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, where the Bank of England's first charter received its seal.
The building now houses the law firm Farrer & Co, which acquired both halves of the structure in the early twentieth century.
In 1688, a mob ransacked the building due to Lord Powis's connection with James II, causing the owner to flee to France.
