Lost & Found (Follies No 34, Autumn 1997}
I've had no reply from Garendon Park (Leics)re this query below. Were the wherabouts of the temple shown on Page 4 ever ascertained do you know?
On one of my research projects I have come across a reference to a Bark Temple in Longcliffe Woods. Someone has suggested it once stood as part of the Garendon estate before the M1 carved it up. Are you able to confirm this theory and if so do you have anything on its history or old photographs thereof please?

Page 4 of what?
I just checked the FF Picture Library for pictures of Garendon Park, and I do not see a bark temple on it. We do have good pictures (dated 1982) of the half decayed bark temple of Exton park though, with the position clearly in relation to Ford Henry.
Is that of any help?

Sorry Rita for the confusion. Page 4 linked in to the heading. In other words 'The Temple at Longcliffe Woods' featured in the 'Lost & Found' section of FOLLIES magazine No 34 and as far as I know has never been identified since. There are a small number of 'Longcliffe' or 'Long Cliffe' Woods on OS maps but the one only that I thought matched a park or landscape garden setting was that at Garendon.
Over to you (or anyone else who knows of a Longcliffe Woods that once owned a Bark Temple.
