Called a "temple" in the fanciful style of the day, this was a landscape enhancing folly built in 1799 on the estate of a now vanished country house. When the house was in its prime there are accounts of splendid parties being held here, but hard times were round the corner and it ended up as a cowshed until the Duchy of Cornwall gave it to the Landmark Trust for conversion into a luxury gite. http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/search-and-book/properties/whiteford-temple-13131/?ZJjYEWg8T5Uilneb2kJmmS/wLBbpScPDWPkQYkUs2jKimMkl8JroVkZ1LNSZZVkRveNfLERN7+qKxC5H0Txpg+94JstcJT4OYR+qzXFaBeiK3pgE8nRW4rQmYQ1HNQls7iAyiHVIUS2gt8DXY4Y1rvIpG77WF0hM
