Description
The Corinthian Temple is a garden temple built in 1766 for the Second Earl of Strafford and was restored in 1976. It is constructed from ashlar sandstone and features a stone slate roof. This small prostyle temple has four Corinthian columns that stand on a three-step stylobate, topped with a full entablature beneath a hipped roof. The rear wall includes arched recesses with impost bands on each side, along with a rectangular recess above. The temple overlooks the south lawn of Wentworth Castle, which is used for playing croquet. The columns were carved by John Platt of Rotherham.
