Temple Church, Medieval church ruins in Redcliffe, Bristol, England
The church structure consists of remaining stone walls and a 35-meter-high leaning tower that tilts westward from its vertical axis.
The Knights Templar established this religious site in 1145, which remained active until their dissolution by the Catholic Church in 1312.
During the Middle Ages, the church contained the Chapel of Bristol Weavers Guild and served as a center for the textile manufacturing district.
The ruins remain open for exterior viewing, with information panels explaining the architectural and historical details of the structure.
The tower, constructed in two phases between 1390 and 1460, developed its permanent lean before German bombing raids in 1940 damaged the building.
