'Two of the effigies of the Knights in the round of the Temple Church which was gutted by fire during one of the recent enemy raids', 1941. On May 10th, 1941, a German air raid set the roof of the Round Church on fire. The fire quickly spread to the nave and chapel. The organ and all the wood parts of the church, including the Victorian renovations were destroyed. From The Connoisseur, 1941 edited by H. Granville Fell. [The National Magazine Co.
