Temple Church http://www.templechurch.com/ OPTIONAL VISIT: Tiffany Circle member, Quenelda Avery, kindly invites you to attend a service on Sunday 02 March at Temple Church, an historic church for its role in the development of the Magna Carta and then famously, in the ‘DaVinci’ Code book and film. The service is from 11:15-12:30 and then the Master will meet the members and take them for a look round the church in the remaining time before tea. Temple Church is a short walk or taxi ride down the Strand from the Savoy. This is purely optional, but please let your staff representative know if you are interested in attending. Transportation is not being provided, but it is about a 10 minute walk or taxi drive (due to the one-way streets). General Information The Temple Church lies ‘off street’ between Fleet Street and the River Thames, in an ‘oasis’ of ancient buildings, courtyards and gardens. To make sure that you find you way to the Church, you may like to check Directions before visiting us. The Church is generally open every day. We would not want you to be disappointed by finding the Church closed; if you are planning a visit, you may like to contact the Verger first, John Shearer, 020 7353 3470,
[email protected], to confirm our current opening hours. History The Temple Church is one of the most historic and beautiful churches in London. Use the left-margin tool-bar to read its story, period by period. Here are eight hundred years of history: from the Crusaders in the 12th century, through the turmoil of the Reformation and the founding father of Anglican theology, to some of the most famous church music in London, week by week – music which we invite you to come and hear when you are next within striking distance of the Temple.
