The view from the Gothic temple - a photo on Flickriver

The view from the Gothic temple

Painshill pleasure gardens were created between 1738 and 1773, by the Hon. Charles Hamilton. After his Grand Tour, he returned with a collection of statues, and acquired the land at Painshill in which to display them. His vision was to create “living paintings”. In 1773, Hamilton was forced to sell Painshill, following years of financial difficulties and debt. Although the landscape changed during the different owners, it remained largely intact until after WWII, when it felt into disrepair. In 1981 Painshill Park Trust was formed to restore the garden back to Hamilton’s original vision.

The 10 sided Gothic Temple was restored in 1981 as it was in a bad state of repair.
