Chinese-style temple and Roman urn - a photo on Flickriver

            This Chinese-style temple stands on the Emperors' Walk, part of the garden of Anglesey Abbey (a National Trust property near Lode, Cambridgeshire).  Underneath it sits a Roman urn made of porphyry (red stone).  Its roof is made of copper tiles shaped like fish scales.

The temple and urn are listed II* by English Heritage and are described as follows on the English Heritage website:

"Urn, ancient Roman. Egyptian porphyry, with a stem of white granite and base of Swedish porphyry. The urn has a cover of copper. Believed to be from Doughty House, Richmond. The urn is in an open-sided temple in Chinese style, with a copper roof on Tuscan columns. Formerly it was at Burrows Hill, near Chertsey."
