Also known as Holy Cross, Temple Church stands on the site of a round church built by the Knights Templar in the 12th century. The rectangular church that replaced it was completed by 1460 with its famous leaning west tower. Largely destroyed in the Bristol Blitz, the Grade II*-listed ruin is now in English Heritage guardianship, with the Templar plan marked out in stone.
