4. The Temple of Victory at Allerton Park.
This octagonal Grade II* listed building was built in the Palladian style in around 1760-70. The estate was once owned by Frederick, Duke of York, and tradition has it that the hill the temple stands on is the one referred to in the nursery rhyme The Grand Old Duke of York, who had 10,000 men and "marched then up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again".
