Nuthall Temple

Nuthall Temple was a Neo-Palladian country house in Nottinghamshire with a striking central dome and spacious living areas. The interior rooms featured elaborate plasterwork and carefully designed architectural details on walls and ceilings.

The building was completed in 1757 from Thomas Wright's designs and was later reworked by James Wyatt. Changes made in the 1770s altered the facade and music room significantly.

The house followed the design of Palladio's Villa Capra in Vicenza and ranked among few English buildings built in this style. Visitors could admire the careful craftsmanship that appeared in every room.

The estate was accessible by several routes and offered views of the landscape surrounding the property from the outside. Visitors could view the architecture best from the different sides of the building.

During its demolition in 1929, the west wing was deliberately set on fire before the entire structure was torn down before spectators. This dramatic event drew many onlookers who watched the destruction of an important architectural work.
