Plaque

William Charles Niblett

Erection date: 2004

Inscription

William Charles Niblett, 1856 - 1920, was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1882. In 1915 he gave his Singapore properties to the Inn, funding the construction of Niblett Hall. This plaque was erected in 2004 to perpetuate his memory.

The date of birth given on the plaque, 1856, is wrong. Niblett was born in 1851.
