available from a small ?shop? inside the side entrance. I would recommend ?Temple Church? ? a 16 page guide book from Pitkin which has some wonderful colour plates and is a veritable steal at a mere £2.00. There is no admission fee, but the Church does sometimes host lunchtime talks for a which a charge is made (£5.00), the most regular and notable one being a history of the Temple Church given by the Master of the Temple himself. The church also hosts organ recitals and choral concerts on occasion - once again, check the website for details.

Being on Fleet Street it is known as the Journalist's church and it is associated with a number of literary figures such as Boswell, Dryden, Lovelace, the diarist Evelyn ...
Advantages: Lots of history, friendly staff Disadvantages: None for me
cannot fail to see the huge organ in the chancel. John Snetzler was perhaps the most famous organ maker that the world has ever known and in 1766 he built the most famous organ that the church has ever had. The current organ was built 1918 but incorporates the original pipes from the Snetzler organ.
The chancel at Halifax Parish Church is notable because of its size. In early times the chancel was the area of the church for the priests and the significant members of society whilst the nave was for the ordinary folk. At that time a huge screen separated the chancel from the nave but this has now been removed.
Within the chancel there is the main altar which is truly wonderful and there are also carved wooden altar rails dating from 1698. In 1634 Archbishop Laude had instructed that altar rails should be installed in all churches and a sum ...
