The Temple of Fame is believed to date from around 1770, built for William Aislabie.
Although it looks like stone, the columns are actually wood and plaster, as a result of this unusual construction it has required frequent renovations in the 1970s, 1987 and 2007.

When you say ‘as a result’, do you mean that stone columns were replaced by wood? Thanks.
No, I meant they have always been wood and hence have required frequent restoration.
Wording changed to clarify.
So it falls down every 20 years?
