Description
Fish Pond Temple is a garden temple built in the mid to late 18th century, likely for Sir Lawrence Dundas. It is constructed of ashlar and rubble sandstone with a stone slate roof. The temple features a tetrastyle prostyle design with a semicircular rear wall. The ashlar portico is set on a base and supported by Roman Doric columns, which carry a Roman Doric frieze and pediment. At the apex of the pediment is the base for a finial. The entablature returns to half columns, and the cornice continues around the curving rear rubble wall, which is topped with a pitched roof. The interior is finished in ashlar with a curving rear wall.
