5. Temple Lets Go Inside
| |
|
The doors and windows on this building are in amazingly good condition, although they may have been replaced since it was built the hardware appears to be original and suggests that the windows and door are as well.
This door stands about 10" high.

It has been said that he entertained lady friends here...perhaps even held orgies. Others speculate that he held card parties in the temple and gambled with his cronies for very high stakes.
I think he just enjoyed a enclosure to admire the 360' views from this position in East Sussex.

These carved stones lay behind the Temple in an S shape. The fields are now filled with a riding obstacle course for jumping and the stones seem to have been incorporated into this.
