Since the 14th century, the Inner Temple, like Middle Temple, has been located adjacent to the Temple Church, which serves as the colleges' chapel. The church was the headquarters of the Knights Templar and gives the area around it the name "Temple". It is called the Inner Temple as the church lies within its boundary. It is an independent enclave physically within the City of London, but not governed by the Corporation of London.
