Old All Saints Church, Nuneham Courtenay, Classical temple church in Nuneham Courtenay, England
The limestone church features a copper-covered dome and six Ionic columns supporting a portico that overlooks the River Thames and surrounding parkland.
Simon Harcourt commissioned the church in 1764 after demolishing the medieval village church to create space for his landscaped gardens.
The interior contains Italian fittings from the 17th and 18th centuries, including carved stalls, memorial sculptures, and decorative plaster panels with religious texts.
Visitors can reach the church through the Global Retreat car park and walk 200 meters across grass parkland to access the building.
The church structure incorporates design elements from ancient Palmyra temples, featuring semicircular Diocletian windows and half-domed east and west fronts.
