More about this scene
Designed by Christopher Wren in 1672 as a triumphal arch, Temple Bar originally stood at the top of Fleet Street in London. In 1878, it was removed because it was proving to be a major restriction to traffic. When the Meux family brought the remains to Theobalds, they had intended that it should become the gate-house to the estate, but it was never properly installed. Over the years there have been a number of attempts to return Temple Bar to London, but it seems that each proposal is blocked by bureaucracy.
