Description
The Queens Temple is a pavilion built around 1740 by architect James Gibbs and remodeled around 1770. It features a balustraded parapet and is constructed from ashlar stone, with rustication at the basement level. The south side has a three-bay Corinthian portico approached by stone steps with balustrades, a glazed central opening, and niches with urns on either side. The north front has a slightly projecting pedimented center with a curved Ionic portico and flanking niches. Inside, the decorations were done by Valdre, and the floor includes a Roman tessellated pavement that was relocated from Foscott between 1839 and 1840.
