Temple of Harmony, 18th-century folly in Goathurst, England
The Temple of Harmony stands in Mill Wood, featuring a slate roof, pedimental end gables, and Ionic columns surrounding its rectangular structure.
Sir Charles Kemeys Tynte commissioned architect Thomas Prowse to design this folly in 1767, drawing inspiration from the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome.
The temple contains a marble statue of Terpsichore, the Muse of dance and lyric poetry, created by John Walsh as a tribute to Thomas Prowse.
Visitors can access the temple during summer Sunday afternoons from 2 PM to 5 PM, with free parking available in the adjoining field.
Originally used as a cattle shelter before its restoration, the temple incorporates a structural tie bar running across the building for enhanced stability.
