Description

The building is an ornamental temple located to the northeast of Heaton Hall, likely constructed in the late 18th century by architect James Wyatt. It is made of sandstone ashlar painted white, with a copper-clad roof. The temple features a small rotunda supported by Tuscan columns, a dentilled cornice, and a domed roof. At the time of inspection, the former encircling balustrade and lantern were missing. There is a doorway on the south side of the inner vessel, and the windows on the east and west sides are now covered.
