EDUCATIONAL VISITS FOR SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

The Temple provides an inspiring starting point for learning. For many years it has been used by schools for teaching pupils of all age groups about local history, and about 18th Century life and art.

Unfortunately it has been necessary to suspend the programme of educational visits but it is hoped to resume them in due course.
