The ancient City gateway of Temple Bar was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren between 1669 and 1672, and stood across Fleet Street until 1878 when it was removed in order to widen the road. As the archway was demolished, the stones were numbered and stored, and eventually re-erected as the gateway to Theobalds Park in Hertfordshire. Here it fell into disrepair, until it was purchased by the Temple Bar Trust and returned to the city. It now stands as an entrance to Paternoster Square. Johnston and Mather are proud to have been the Planning Supervisors for the City of London for this unique project.

In 2005 the Temple Bar project was awarded a Special Commendation by the Worshipful Company of Architects.
