Temple Facts
The Preston England Temple was the second temple built in the British Isles, following the London England Temple (1958).
"I should not like to contemplate an existence, especially one that is going to continue forever, if I could not enjoy that existence with those whom I love. And so we build temples in the name of the Lord."
—Hugh B. Brown
