Overview

About Gothic Temple

Temple folly in the magical grounds of Stowe

Built in 1741, in the manicured landscape gardens of Stowe, this James Gibb designed temple is dedicated “to the Liberty of our Ancestors”, for which the Gothic style was deemed appropriate. Inside, the rooms are all circular, with moulded stone pilasters and plaster vaults – the main vault of the central space being gorgeously painted with heraldry.
To be on the first floor gallery is an important architectural experience; and at the top of the staircase there is a belvedere with stone seats and a fine view over this former demesne of Lord Cobham and his successors, of which the National Trust is now guardian.
