This property is maintained by The National Trust

The Ionic Temple at Rievaulx Terrace, North Yorkshire (owned by The National Trust) inspired by the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome.

It was intended as a banqueting house and the central table is still set as if for a meal. It is decorated with elaborate ceiling paintings and is furnished in the period style. The basement housed the kitchen and living quarters and nowadays it holds an exhibition on English landscape design in the 18th century.
