NOTES: This church, one of the four remaining round churches in England, dates from c.1130. It was largely rebuilt in the 15th and extensively restored by Salvin in 1842.
NOTES: The roof was hidden by a barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling until it was uncovered during restoration in 1880. The angels on the hammer-beams were added in 1892.
NOTES: The church was founded by the Knights Templar in the reign of Henry II upon the model of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem. The Transitional style church was consecrated in 1185 by Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem. The church and most of the Temple enclave was severely damaged by incendiary bombs during the Blitz of 1941. However, the walls were left intact and enough fragments remained for the church to be restored in complete Early Gothic style after World War II. The nave and choir was rededicated in 1954, and the Round, the original nave, in 1958.
