According to the Middle Temple's website, the elaborately carved 5-bay oak screen at the low end with a minstrels' gallery above is 23' high. The screen dates from the later 16th c. It was badly damaged during the 1940 bombing raid but has been carefully reconstructed.

Commentary
The screens passage (8 and 1/2' wide) with a gallery above was formed at the S end by a wooden screen destroyed in the late 18th c. fire. 3 doors remain for the buttery and pantry to left and right with the kitchen access in the middle.
