Description

The Doric Arch is a small stone arch built in 1767, located at Stowe School. It features fluted pilasters that support an entablature and a blocking course with an inscription. The arch frames a semi-circular headed arch and includes a medallion of Princess Amelia, the daughter of George II, to whom the arch is dedicated. The design may be attributed to Thomas Pitt or Lord Temple, or possibly a collaboration between the two.
