Description

The Stone Pavilion in Mote Park, built in 1801, is a circular temple made of Portland stone, designed in the style of the Trianon Temple de L'Amour. It features a central circular building with three high doorways framed by moulded architraves, surrounded by a colonnade of fluted Doric columns. These columns support an entablature that includes a triglyph frieze and a domed stone roof. An inscription around the architrave reads, "Erected in 1801 by the Volunteers of Kent as a tribute of respect to the Earl of Romney, Lord Lieutenant." The pavilion is strategically positioned to be viewed from a distance, particularly from the windows of the nearby house.
