Description
The Gothic Temple is a pavilion, now functioning as a holiday cottage, built in 1741 by Gibbs. It is constructed from brown ironstone, and its roof is concealed by castellated parapets. The building has two storeys and a triangular plan, featuring a three-storey tower at one angle and stone domed turrets at two others. Each side of the structure has a shallow gable divided into three bays, supported by attached columns of a gothicised Doric order, with pointed arches between them. The two central columns are topped with pinnacles, flanking a central roundel with a quatre-foil design. The first-floor windows are traceried, featuring quatre-foils in the centre, while the ground floor openings have gothic panelled spandrels. Each arch contains a pointed arched window recess, with some being blank and others having a quatrefoil opening at the head.
