Bristol Hotel Guide - Bristol Temple Church hotels in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Bristol Temple Church is one of Bristol's most iconic historic landmarks, just a short walk from the city's lively harbourside and Temple Meads railway station.

Featuring Bristol's Very Own Leaning Tower

This fascinating medieval church, which suffered bombing during the Bristol Blitz, features a 15th century tower that leans alarmingly by more than five feet! Allegedly, this is due to the gradual compression of clay beneath the structure.

History of Bristol Temple Church

The Grade II-Listed building has existed since the 12th Century and was once under the control of the Knights Hospitaller until King Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century. The church overlooks a Neo-Gothic arched entrance and the picturesque Temple Gardens, and was excavated shortly after the Second World War, when archaeologists discovered the plan of the original church. Interestingly, attempts were made in the 15th Century to correct the tower's lean, although over the centuries it has continued to protract further from its original position.
