Temples, Ancient and Modern is an 1837 London work of church architecture notes by William Bardwell, printed for the author and aimed at readers interested in building history. Its engravings show arcaded crypts, a Romanesque doorway with carved zigzag and chevron mouldings, a vaulted Gothic interior with clustered piers and ribbed vaults, and a domed round building with a flight of stairs, which a designer could draw on for arch, column and vault motifs.
