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:
“If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“The present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospects.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
