Bristol Temple Church plans 05.01.21

Haworth Tompkins are working with The Architecture Centre, English Heritage and Bristol City Council on plans for Temple Church and Gardens. We are developing proposals with the design team, and the local community, that will unlock the heritage value of both the church ruins and the gardens. By applying the principles of regenerative design to respond sensitively to the context, and using sustainable materials, a vision is beginning to form that will transform the site it into a thriving space for those who work and live nearby.

Originally the site of a 12th Century circular Temple built by the Knights Templar, the church visible today was built in the 15th Century. It was bombed in the Second World War during the Bristol Blitz of 1940 and remains a living memorial. Temple Church is in the top 20 worst condition buildings belonging to English Heritage. The charity has successfully raised investment to undertake a first phase of urgent conservation in 2021.
