The heat of the fire

Looking from the outside of Temple Church, the ruins tell a story of a terrible fire. Hit by incendiaries in WWII, the interior was gutted in a fierce blaze; the heat generated caused the stonework to change colour. Looking at the empty window surround, the pinkish hue is clear to see as it faces inwards.
