He entered the Middle Temple in 1634, was called to the bar in 1639, became a Bencher in 1661, Recorder of York in 1662 and King's Serjeant in 1669.

interesting connection [was William Turner a near relation, connection seems so near].

...
The Bill which I have to introduce is entirely non-contentious, and it concerns an ancient charity which was founded by Sir William Turner, a Lord Mayor of London in the time of Charles II. The Scheme which the Bill confirms is a Scheme prepared by the Charity Commissioners "for the application or management of the Charity known as Sir William Turner's Hospital, at Kirkleatham, in the North Riding of the County of York, regulated by an Act for settling the several Charities of the Foundation of Sir William Turner, Knight, "

Sir William Turner was John's younger brother.

John Turner was a Serjeant at Law, which means a senior barrister, senior even to a Queen's/King's Counsel (QC/KC).

All barristers belong to an Inn Of Court. Pepys reports meeting Jane Turner at Roger Pepys' office at his Inn suggesting that John, like Roger, was a member of the Middle Temple.

The Middle Temple and Inner Temple are the two Inns of Court which occupy a magnificent site between Fleet Street and the Thames. They share the site with the historical Temple Church. Well worth a visit.
