In reply to Susan Kellerman. Hello Susan. It is very sad to see the surroundings of such beautiful buildings under threat. The incinerator is an eye-catcher fur all the wrong reasons and is certainly not an ornament to the landscape.

The Temple’s immediate setting in the Allerton Castle landscape may be protected but its wider setting is unfortunately being assailed by intrusive developments around it, alongside the A168 and the A1(M). Its historic significance as an eye catcher has been recognised in the sight lines of a planning application for a large new business park at nearby Flaxby, although it remains to be seen if this particular detail of the plans will be carried through. And its eye-catcher status has already been challenged by the monstrous waste incinerator a short distance further north along the A168. This can be seen from miles around, in every direction, unlike the lovely little temple.
