The bombed Church
The tower of Temple Church, bombed during the blitz, looms over premises in Victoria Street. The King's Head Inn, second right from the arches, is a rare example of a small urban public house which retains its ensemble of C19 furnishings.

Bolt benchmark in Temple church
An Ordnance Survey benchmark in the west end of Bristol's famous leaning tower. Perhaps the accuracy of the mark might be compromised, seeing as the tower is no longer as vertical as when it was built.
See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm28916 for the Benchmark Database, and Image] for a wider view of the tower's base.

Temple church tower base
Here we can see that the original position of the tower has moved over the years, just like that of Pisa's. A benchmark was placed in the left of the buttresses - see Image

Temple church tower
A closer look at the ornate stonework. Pity the same effort didn't go into securing the foundations, hence it's not vertical any more.

Not an optical illusion
The foundations of Holy Trinity were set on softer ground than was thought. Over the early years the tower started to sink and is now clearly out of plumb. The pavement is actually closer to horizontal - something that might confuse a late night drinker.

Crane your neck and see how the top is different
Temple Church tower is famous for leaning badly out of vertical. The lower stages were built on weak soil and it began to list; later, the upper section was added but at a distinct divergance to the lower in order to redress the problem.

An odd angle of an odd tower
The church dates from the twelfth century but the main part is from the fourteenth. The west end and the porch were of that date but the tower came a little later, hence it is in the southwest corner and outside the nave. Given the alarming state of the tower - it now leans 1.6m (5ft) out of true - the view from here gives a strange impression.7

Not a true vertical in sight
The tower of Temple church is most definitely leaning, but the shops and the pub aren't helping with the convergence.
