    It looks very typical of the buildings in Stowe Gardens, but I don't think it is.

    Thanks :applause:, Looks like it is now missing the bows just below the dome but apart from that it looks the same. Cheers Ian

    Interestingly enough also a garden designed by Capability Brown. I was going to say in my first post, that you might want to look for other gardens designed by him.
