Knights Templar and Barristers

Checked out the Temple Festival today. Unprecedented access to the grounds of the Temple area. The area was started by the Knights of the Templar and later became the location of 2 of the 4 Inns of Court. The area has one the oldest churches and some very old buildings which have housed some amazing historical people and events.



Inside of the Royal Courts. Hopefully I don't have to go back there. Fingers crossed.


Temple Church built in the 1100's. Might have scene it in the Da Vinci Code.


Dead Knights whose remains were originally buried inside the Church. Warrior monks from the Crusades.


Inside the Inner Temple Hall. Hall for important dinners. All barristers must attend several dinners here a year.


Outside of Barrister Chambers some of the oldest buildings left in the area. Somehow survived blitzkrieg bombings.
Used in movies quite often.
