[95453] Stowe : The Gothic Temple
Stowe Landscape Gardens, Buckinghamshire.
The National Trust.
The Gothic Temple, 1748.
By James Gibbs (1682-1754).
For Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham (1675-1749).
Grade l listed.
This is the only building in the Gardens built from ironstone, all the others use a creamy-yellow limestone. The building is triangular in plan of two storeys with a pentagonal shaped tower at each corner, one of which rises two floors higher than the main building, while the other two towers have lanterns on their roofs. The Temple was used in the 1930s by Stowe School as the Officer Training Corps armoury. It is now available as a holiday let through the Landmark Trust.
