Description
The Temple, also known as The Rotunda, is a Grade II* listed building dating from around 1760, with alterations made by architect Sir Charles Barry in the mid-19th century. This classical circular structure is built from stucco and topped with a dome on a drum, which is surrounded by a colonnade resting on a rusticated base. The rusticated drum and dome, featuring a balustrade, are the work of Barry. The colonnade consists of twelve smooth Ionic columns and includes a modillion entablature, with a balustrade and urns positioned above the cornice. The base of the structure has openings with plain architraves, and a plinth, although all openings are currently filled.
