The Temple of Harmony
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 23 Feb 2023
An interesting folly of 1767, built for Sir Charles Kemeys-Tynte and a replica of the first century Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. It was owned for many years but ended up being used as a cattle shed in modern times. The Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust acquired it in 1993 in a poor state and retored it. The folly is now the private property of the Halswell Estate, although visits can be had on summer Sundays. Grade II* listed.
