The New Temple

The New Temple is a garden temple and attached house, built in the mid-18th century and extended in the late 19th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a lead and slate roof, featuring a brick ridge stack. The temple faces the former park of Horton Hall, which was demolished in 1936, and is situated to the southwest of the site of the house.

The front of the temple has a tetrastyle portico that is accessed by three moulded stone steps and is designed in the Ionic order. It includes a pediment and a full entablature with a pulvinated frieze. The back wall of the portico features a central double-leaf, part-glazed door with a moulded stone surround and a pulvinated frieze. Above this, there is a blank attic window with a moulded stone surround. On the ground floor, there are shallow segmental-headed niches to the left and right, as well as circular niches above, flanking the window.

To the rear, there is a large late 19th-century house that incorporates the temple. This house is made of white brick with stone dressings and has a T-shaped plan.
