Rievaulx Terrace - the Ionic Temple
The Ionic Temple was built to be used as a space for entertaining, with a kitchen in the basement and an elaborately decorated reception room above.
Rievaulx Terrace was constructed in the 1750s by Thomas Duncombe of nearby Duncombe Park as an adjunct to his gardens. The terrace winds along the ridge overlooking the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey in the valley below. At either end is a classical temple.
