The Preston England Temple, Chorley, Lancashire, England, UK 1 (UHD) (HDR)

Описание: The Preston England Temple is the 52nd operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The temple is located in the town of Chorley, 10 miles (16 km) south of Preston, in Lancashire, England. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 19, 1992 by Gordon B. Hinckley, then serving as first counselor in the First Presidency, during the rededication of the London England Temple. It was the second temple built in Great Britain, and the sixth built in Europe.

The temple has a single spire and showcases a modern classical style. A groundbreaking ceremony, conducted by Hinckley, to signify the beginning of construction was held on June 12, 1994.

The temple serves Latter-day Saints from the Midlands and northern parts of England, the whole of Scotland, the Isle of Man, the Belfast Stake in Northern Ireland and the Dublin Stake and the Limerick District in the Republic of Ireland.

The temple is the centrepiece of a 15-acre (6 hectare) complex that includes a stake centre, a missionary training centre, a family history facility, a distribution centre, temple patron housing, temple missionary accommodations, and a grounds building. The temple itself has a modern, single spire design and an exterior finish of Olympia white granite from Sardinia.

The white granite exterior and zinc roof have caused it to be described as reminiscent of England's old churches. The angel Moroni statue atop the spire is known as, "one of the landmarks of the M61". The temple has four ordinance rooms and four sealing rooms, and is the largest Latter-day Saint temple in Europe, at 69,630 square feet (6,470 m2). The London England Temple is smaller, at 46,174 square feet (4,290 m2).

Site
The temple sits on a 15-acre plot, and the landscaping around the temple features a small pond and large grassy areas. These elements are designed to provide a tranquil setting that enhances the site's sacred atmosphere.

Exterior
The structure stands one story tall, constructed with Olympia white granite. The exterior includes a zinc roof and single spire topped with an angel Moroni statue. The design is reflective of both the local culture and the broader church symbolism.
