Temple Church. |
Saturday May 27, 2023.
The Temple Church is famous throughout the world as the church of the Knights Templar and was a place that I long wished to visit.
It was by pure chance that while wandering along Fleet Street I noticed that the gates to Temple Church were open, with an A-board advertising that the church was open for viewing. So, through the gate I headed.
The narrow passageway soon opened up and, in front and to my left, the Round of Temple Church came into view.

I made my way around to the south of the building, which is the best place from which to view the church and is where the entrance is situated.

After admiring the architecture and the surrounding buildings, which are filled with law firms and the like, I entered the church.
Now, I have been inside many churches, cathedrals and abbeys all of varying size and stature, but Temple Church is on another level, in my opinion.
