James Paine's intended south elevation of the Temple of Diana

The design of the south front of the Temple, which contains the orangery or greenhouse, appears to have been based on an unexecuted design that Paine had drawn for the Knavesmire Grandstand at York racecourse. The great arched windows were intended to be able to be removed in the summer months, so that the space could become an elegant open loggia. Paine shows the building with urns embellishing the parapet, statues and urns in the niches and with decorative panels that are of designs known to have been produced in Coade stone - the eighteenth century twice-fired ceramic that was made popular by the female entrepreneur Eleanor Coade.
