Temple of Fame
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.
