Description

The ruin of the Gothick Temple is a summerhouse dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick, which has been rendered and lined to resemble ashlar stone. The structure is designed in the Gothick style, featuring an angled bay on the right side that includes blind pointed arches set within square-headed panels, along with an enriched frieze and a moulded cornice above. To the left, there is an ogee-headed doorway that has a moulded surround.
