Description
The Tuscan Temple at Barnsley House is a small garden temple, originally moved from Fairford Park in 1963. It was likely built around 1770 by Eames, who landscaped the park. The temple features two widely spaced unfluted Tuscan Doric columns on bases in antis, with square corner piers. It has a moulded pediment and cornice with a plain frieze. The sides and rear wall are made of rubble stone with flush quoins, and it has a slate roof that slopes backwards from approximately cornice level.
