The Temple, an 18th century folly, is a replica of the 1st Century BC Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. The Temple of Harmony was built by Sir Charles Kemeys Tynte in 1767 to designs by Thomas Prowse, with features by Robert Adam and Thomas Stocking.
The Temple stands in the grounds of Halswell House, which was a small manor recorded in the Doomsday Book. A grander house was built in 1536 with Tudor, parterre-style gardens. The north range was rebuilt in 1689 and this is what you see today. The transformation of the landscape and gardens into true, Georgian Pleasure Gardens was accomplished by Sir Charles between 1740 and 1785.
