Folly created by William Danby of nearby Swinton Hall in 1820. The structure sits deep within a private forest and includes a large stone table, a sheltered cave and an altar stone. The temple is approximately 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, with some of the stones standing over 10 feet high.
In the pic is the sacrificial stone, where a pig's head was found once. Its been linked to devil worshop...and also a salary was offered for someone to live at the Temple as a hermit for seven years, and according to legend, one person managed 5 years before going mad!
Hmmm..... we take our visitors to silly places off the beaten track!
Hehehe one has to be careful if they are visiting you or you thought they are already mad enough to stand the place. I like the natural frame of the stones.
