King William's Temple

Built in 1837 by Sir Jeffry Wyatville, King William's Temple was built to complement Chambers' Temple of Victory (no longer standing).

Originally known as the Temple of Military Fame, iron plaques commemorating British military victories from Minden to Waterloo are placed around the interior. The building is made of stone with a four-column Tuscan portico at either end, and is lit by windows in the side entablatures (the upper part of the building supported by the columns).
