|
The Temple Church was consecrated in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 10 February 1185 by Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem. The whole Temple community had moved from an earlier site in High Holborn, considered by the 1160s to be too confined. The church was the chapel serving the London headquarters of the Knights Templar, and from them it took its name. ... After the success of the First Crusade, the order was founded in Jerusalem in a building on the site of King Solomons temple. ...
The London Temple was the Templars headquarters in Great Britain. The Templars churches were always built to a circular design to remind them of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, a round, domed building raised over the site of the sepulchre where Jesus was buried. ... In England, King Henry II was probably present at the consecration of the church. King Henry III favoured them so much that he wished to be buried in their church. As a consequence of this wish, the choir of the church was pulled down and a far larger one built in its place. ... The most sacred place in this most sacred city was the supposed site of Jesus own burial: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Here the crusaders inherited a round church. ...
In every round church that the Templars built throughout Europe they recreated the sanctity of this most holy place. ...
Also within the round church is great examples of Norman architecture.
