Stourhead - The Pantheon

The Pantheon lies in the ground of Stourhead in Wiltshire, an estate owned by the National Trust.
Architect Henry Flitcroft was commissioned to design the Pantheon and building started in 1753 by William Privett.

The pantheon is home to several statues, some shown below, including "Hercules" created by Rysbrack

There are many more photos of Stourhead and other National Trust properties in my gallery
