The Temple Brocket Hall

The Temple at Brocket Hall is a garden temple built in the mid to late 18th century, likely designed by James Paine. It features painted brick and stucco construction with slate roofs and is a single-storey building. The structure has a square core with canted projections to the north and south, and a square entrance on the east side that is topped with a pediment and has a segmental arch opening. The eaves are adorned with dentilled brickwork. An elliptical porch flanks a 19th-century half-glazed door, with niches on either side. Inside, the temple has apsidal ends to the north and south, each with half domes above. There are niches around the interior, with marble-topped tables positioned below them. The ceiling is in the Adam style, featuring plasterwork with a central skylight and decorative plaster medallions. A marble basin is located in the rear central niche, and the temple is said to have been used for taking syllabub.
