Stowe has been copiously written about since 1700, both in official guides and in the impressions of its numerous visitors. Now in the care of the National Trust, the gardens are becoming ever better known and understood. Lord Cobham’s Temple of Liberty, as this Gothic building was provisionally known, was built in 1741. It was one of the last additions to the famous garden formed by Charles Bridgeman and his successor, William Kent. The designer of the Temple was James Gibbs, who had with Kent, succeeded Vanbrugh as chief architect at Stowe.

You can stay in the gothic temple, so be careful there may be some residents at home.
