Remaining Site
The ruin consists of the intact square south tower of the temple church, one of two added to the original structure during the Templars' tenure, north and south of the chancel. The car park is on the site of the round nave.
About 50 yards (46 m) away from the tower, on a farm track passing the site, is a curious structure, a column about 25 feet (7.6 m) high, about 18 inches by 18 inches (460 mm) at the base, made of some sort of stone, and with small drawers inset. The column tapers as it goes up, and the drawers get progressively smaller, up to about the 7-foot (2.1 m) mark. The drawers will pull open. This is a sculpture of concrete, steel and wood. It is not very old, and unconnected with the Templar site

Famous quotes containing the words remaining and/or site:
“People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
