LinkThe
Temple Church is a late
12th century church in
London located between
Fleet Street and the
River Thames. It was originally constructed as the church of a
monastic complex known as the Temple, the headquarters in
England of the
Knights Templar. The Temple was the scene of important negotiations leading to the signing of
Magna Carta in
1215. After the destruction of the Templar order in the early
14th century, the Temple became
Crown property and was let to two groups of lawyers that evolved into the
Inner Temple and
Middle Temple, which are two of the four
Inns of Court. The two Inns both use the church, which is famous for its
effigy tombs. It was heavily damaged during the
Second World War but has been largely restored. The area around the Temple Church is known as "Temple" and nearby is
Temple tube station. It was also featured in the controversial "alternative history" novel the
Da Vinci Code by American author
Dan Brown
