Follies were popular features in Georgian gardens and the Temple of Fame is an example at Studley.

 

The temple sits high on the valley side, a rotunda shape with wonderful views across the garden. It would have been used by the Georgians who visited the garden as the perfect place to have a rest and was believed to have been used as a picnic spot.

 

The temple of Fame is a folly in both senses of the word as it appears to be made from stone, but is in fact painted wood.
