Description
The Neo-Classical Temple is a summerhouse built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of rendered brick with sandstone dressings and features a slate roof. The structure is supported by four Roman Doric columns that hold up an entablature adorned with triglyphs and a triangular pediment. There are window openings on both the left and right sides, and a central doorway topped with a semi-circular fanlight. At the time of the re-survey in April 1984, the building was noted to be derelict.
