The Temple of Ancient Virtue is a circular peripteral ionic temple with a domed cella on a podium, approached by two flights of steps.
The Temple of Ancient Virtue is a circular peripteral ionic temple with a domed cella on a podium, approached by two flights of steps. Built in the 1730's to a design probably by Kent. The design is inspired by the Temple of Sibyl at Tivoli. Copies of the original four statues of greek heroes representing the enlightened ideals of Lord Cobham and his Whig friends have been reintroduced.

Designed by William Kent in 1734, this monument is a peristyle rotunda, patterned after the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli but using the Ionic order rather than the Corinthian. The Guide to the Gardens suggests that Kent may have also had in mind an English model -- Nicholas Hawksmoor's Mausoleum at Castle Howard in North Yorkshire.
