Description
The Ionic Temple, built in 1758 and likely designed by Sir Thomas Robinson, is a notable structure located in Rievaulx Terrace. Constructed from limestone ashlar with a lead roof and a stone stack, the temple has a rectangular shape and features a tetrastyle portico. The entrance is accessed via a podium with a flight of 12 steps leading up to the Ionic portico, which is adorned with a dentilled pediment. The entrance includes a six-panel door set within a cyma recta moulded doorcase, and there is a ridge stack at the rear of the building.
Inside, the temple contains a panelled room with a striking white marble fireplace that is supported by caryatids and topped with an open-scrolled pediment. The ceiling is coved and features painted work by Giuseppe Mattia Borgnis, who lived from 1701 to 1761.
