Description

The building is a garden folly located at the north end of the woodland walk, approximately 300 meters north of the orangery in Ripley Park. It was possibly designed around 1785 by William Belwood for Sir John Ingilby. The structure is made of gritstone and ashlar, topped with a grey/purple slate roof, and is designed as a prostyle temple.

The south facade is accessed by two roll-moulded steps and features four Ionic columns that support an entablature, a modillioned eaves cornice, and a pediment. On the left side, an Ionic pilaster supports the end of the returned entablature, while the remaining eaves and walling are made of coursed gritstone. The right side is similar in design. Inside, the walls are plastered, but there are no notable interior features.
