Temple Balsall West Midlands Map

About Temple Balsall

Temple Balsall, a tranquil corner of the West Midlands, breathes a quiet dignity. It lies 6.4 km east-south-east of Solihull (from Solihull: bearing 121°T, OS grid SP 207 761), and is situated south of Barston village. The landscape around Temple Balsall gently unfolds, a patchwork of fields where the light often falls in soft, elongated shafts, particularly in the late afternoon. Historically, the presence of the Knights Templar left an indelible mark, their legacy whispered in the very stones of the old manor house, now a part of a residential complex, its ancient timbers holding stories of a bygone era. The air here carries the subtle scent of well-tended gardens and the distant hum of agricultural life, a constant reminder of the land’s enduring connection to its past. The village green, a simple expanse, serves as a quiet heart, reflecting the sky on dewy mornings. Temple Balsall retains a sense of serene seclusion, a place where the passage of time feels measured by the changing seasons rather than the frantic pulse of modern life.
