During the 15th century, the Fellows began to be called Masters, and the gap between Masters and Clerks gradually grew, with an order in 1505 that no Master was to be found in Clerks' Commons unless studying a point of law there.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By 1466, the Fellows were divided into Benchers, those "<a href="/wiki/Bar_(law)" title="Bar (law)">at the Bar</a>" (<i>ad barram</i>, also known as "utter barristers" or simply "barristers"), and those "not at the Bar" (<i>extra barram</i>).

There are also "additional benchers"—members of the Inn who have been successful in a profession other than the law, who have the rights of a normal bencher except that they cannot hold an office, such as Treasurer. In addition there are "honorary benchers", who hold all the rights of a Bencher except the right to vote and the right to hold an office.
