Image description

The monument was built in memory of John George Lambton, the first Earl of Durham (1792-1840), Governor-General of Canada and Grand Master of the Order of Freemasons. It was erected in 1844 in ashlar, and consists of 4x7 doric columns supporting a frieze and end pediments, as the monument has no roof. It was designed by John and Benjamin Green of Newcastle, and built by Thomas Pratt of Sunderland. It is believed to have been based on the Temple of Theseus in Athens, and stands taller, at 70ft high. The site is now owned by the National Trust.
