Description
The Tuscan Temple, located in the grounds of Duncombe Park, was built around 1730 in the Palladian style. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a lead roof. The temple has a circular peripteral plan supported by Tuscan columns on a stepped podium. The entrance includes a six-fielded panel door, and there are three sash windows with glazing bars. The structure is adorned with a plain frieze and a moulded cornice, and it has a low drum with a circular window that features radial glazing bars. The hemispherical dome completes the design.
Inside, the door and windows are framed with bead and egg and dart moulding, and there are shell niches between them. Above the door, a broken scroll pediment supports two putti holding a medallion. The ceiling is coffered and features two putti holding a garland at its center.
