Summerhouse Approximately 75 Metres To South West Of Stokecliff

The summerhouse, known as "the temple" by the residents of Stokecliff, dates from around 1820 to 1830. It is constructed from plastered stone rubble, although the roof material is missing. The building is set into a steep hillside, with the back part enclosed by stone walls and the front designed to resemble a classical temple, featuring an open colonnade.

The exterior showcases a Roman Doric style, with a three-bay colonnade of timber columns. As of August 1990, the outer two columns had collapsed and the middle two were leaning. The colonnade supports a Doric frieze adorned with mutules and triglyphs, all beneath a false pediment at the front gable end of the roof, which currently lacks cladding.

Inside, the plastered stone walls feature a series of round-headed niches—three on the back wall and one on each side wall—likely intended for statues or night lights. There are also remains of an old wooden bench, which is probably not an original feature, and the roof is supported by boarded common rafters.
