The temple is dedicated to Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and the arts, and was originally constructed between 1754 and 1757. By the late 19th century the whole estate had fallen on hard times and the buildings disappeared. The park then underwent a restoration project, thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and this Gothic temple was one of the buildings that was reconstructed and restored. The work was completed in 2010.

Looking over Hurworth Burn reservoir from the railway path, with wind turbines in the background.
Hurworth Burn to Station Town railway path. It is 1.8 miles long and makes an enjoyable walk passing Hurworth Burn Reservoir.
The railway line opened in 1877 and the route closed to passengers in 1931, and to goods after a further twenty years. It is now enjoyed by walkers and cyclists alike.
