St Mary's Church, Temple Balsall, Grade I listed church in Temple Balsall, England
St Mary's Church features large geometrical windows, a restored pipe organ, and detailed stonework showcasing medieval architectural craftsmanship.
Built around 1290, the church maintains connections to the Knights Templar and later served the Knights Hospitaller until the 1470s.
The altar window contains illustrations of both Templar and Hospitaller knights, representing the church's dual heritage in religious military orders.
The church holds regular worship services under the Diocese of Birmingham and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its medieval architecture.
Several carved knights' heads within the church interior spark debates about whether they represent Templar or Hospitaller warriors.
