David Garrick, an 18th-century actor and playwright, built a garden folly by the riverside, which he intended to dedicate to William Shakespeare as a "temple" to the playwright. The temple was used to house Garrick's collection of Shakespearean relics and to entertain his family and friends.

The temple is a small, circular building made of Portland stone with a domed roof and a portico supported by six Ionic columns. The temple's interior is decorated with frescoes and stucco work, which depict scenes from Garrick's plays and other theatrical productions of the time.

Garrick's Temple and Lawn, Hampton, London.
