Temple Church

The 'leaning tower' and walls of this large late medieval church survived bombing during the Second World War. The graveyard is now a peaceful public garden.

Bombed in the 1941 Blitz but the tower, leaning well out of true by about 1.7m since it was built in the 17th century, is still standing. On site of the original 12th century Knights Templar church .

Bombed and roof demolished by the Luftwaffe in the 1940 Bristol Blitz but the tower has been leaning for about 400 years and survives still. Originally the site of a 12th century Templar Church .
