The Temple of Pan was build in the 1770s as a baroque folly and was probably one of the last follies to be built as part of Sir Charles Kemeys-Tyntes transformation of the landscape and gardens of Halswell Park. It is thought to be built by the architect John Johnson and was also known as the Bailiff's houses but may have been intended to be part residential.
