The Preston England Temple is the 52nd operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . The LDS Church took root in Preston, Lancashire, when the first Mormon missionaries arrived in 1837. Because of its place in LDS Church history and the growth of membership in Preston, LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley announced the area would be the site for Britain's second temple . The Preston England Temple is located in the town of Chorley, 10 miles south of Preston, in Lancashire. The groundbreaking ceremony of this temple was on 12 June 1994. It is the centrepiece of a 15-acre complex that includes a stake centre, a missionary training centre, a family history facility, a distribution centre, temple patron housing, temple missionary accommodations and a grounds building. The temple itself has a modern, single spire design and an exterior finish of Olympia white granite from Sardinia. The white granite exterior and zinc roof have caused it to be described as reminiscent of England's old churches.Hinckley dedicated the Preston England Temple on 7 June 1998. The temple has four ordinance rooms and four sealing rooms, and is the largest LDS temple in Europe, at 69,630 square feet . The older London England Temple is smaller, at 46,174 square feet and is the second largest temple in Europe, followed by the Madrid Spain Temple at 45,800 square feet . The temple serves Latter-day Saints from the Midlands and northern parts of England, the whole of Scotland, the Isle of Man, the Belfast Stake in Northern Ireland and the Dublin Stake in the Republic of Ireland. The Limerick District in the Republic of Ireland is served by the London England Temple.
