Mr. ALLEN WALKER: London's Great Buildings-IV, The Temple'

on 2LO London and 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THERE is a perennial and never-failing thrill in turning out of the roaring, traffic-laden London streets into the quiet, secluded courts and alleyways of the Temple. This peaceful enclave between the heart of newspaperland and the bustle of the Strand i, full of curious corners, and all its buildings have associations with great figures of the past. The Knights Templars founded it and built the Temple Church but since the fourteenth century it has been the lawyers' domain. In this afternoon's talk Mr. Allen Walker will take his listeners through the interesting places of the Temple, including the Church and the Middlo Templo Dining Hall, where Twelfth Night was played for the first time.
