Inner Temple Column and statue of Knights Templar in Church Court, Inner Temple.
This is the top of the column outside the Temple Church in Inner Temple, with the round part of the church in the background. You'll have noticed that the two knights are sharing a single horse, to symbolise their vows of poverty (although in fact the Knights Templar were extremely rich).
