Description
Carnaby Temple is a folly built around 1770, with later additions, commissioned by Sir William Strickland of Boynton Hall. It is constructed of pinkish-brown brick and features an asphalt and Welsh slate roof. The building has an octagonal plan and includes a 19th-century extension at the rear that is of no special interest. Designed in the Chinoiserie style, it stands two storeys high with a single-storey lantern. Each side of the temple has round-arched openings on both floors, which are now blocked. The structure has a dentil eaves band and a bell-shaped roof with a side stack, topped by a lantern that has blind round-arched openings. The eaves are stepped, and the roof is pagoda-shaped with a ball finial. At the time of resurvey, the temple was disused.
