Garden temple. Probably mid C19. Limestone ashlar with cast-iron columns and lead-covered dome.

The temple is raised on 3 limestone steps and has 16 Corinthian columns supporting a circular entablature decorated with goats' heads and swags. The central drum has low windows on 4 sides and is capped by a dome. On the north side there are curved panelled double doors set in an architrave with a cornice on brackets. 3 round-headed niches face in the other cardinal directions. INTERIOR: not fully inspected. Appears to have 2 enriched cornices, a dome with mural painting, niches with leaf decoration to their spandrels, and a central rectangular block of stone. Holme Island House not included.
