Temple of Theseus, Hagley Hall, Hagley - Bromsgrove
Doric temple of 1758 designed by James 'Athenian' Stewart. It stands in a grade I registered park and garden 800 metres north of Hagley Hall. It is separated from the rest of the estate by the A456. This relatively isolated location has rendered it vulnerable to vandalism so security fencing has been erected. Discussions continue with the owner on a strategy to secure the future of the building. A new, permanent visitor centre on the estate gained planning permission in 2014. Construction of the main building has not yet started; a temporary visitor centre was given consent in 2021.
