Hello Steven and thanks for getting in touch. I’m really pleased to hear you enjoyed finding out about the lost temple, and that you have explored the site. It can’t have stood there for long, which makes it all the more mysterious. I hope you enjoy finding Richmond’s other follies.

I grew up in Richmond and I have recently moved back having lived in London period. I had absolutely no idea that the temple structure ever existed – I find it absolutely fascinating. So much so that I needed to go and see the site for myself. I would love to share pictures of the former site of the temple with you. Aside from the holly that you mentioned, there was very little in the way of any evidence to indicate that a structure had once stood at the peak of the hill. The only giveaway is how flat it is up there. It is no secret, either. In fact, it appears to be a popular camping site! Thank you again for this really fascinating article, it has really motivated me to learn more about the history of my town and beyond

My look at ?Cuthbert Reades Temple seems no longer to have George Cubitts picture of the Rotunda attached. Was this the adjustment you made to the article?

Hello Gwyn. The hill is out of bounds but I am reliably informed by locals that a flat platform survives and there are some scattered stones. The geometric paths have apparently disappeared but vestiges of ornamental planting – holly and box – can be seen. And yes, of course, Yorkshire masons were the best in the world!

Does no trace remain? What about the geometric paths? If it was in Yorkshire surely it could never have been ‘poorly built’???
