Burton Chateau is a temple folly built in 1747 by James Paine. It was constructed of red brick and limestone ashlar and has shallow hipped slate roofs. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1} The delight of Gate Burton is the landscaping of the park, across the Gainsborough Road to the Trent-side. Here on a knoll beside a coronet of trees was erected in 1747 to 1748 the delightful prospect temple, a staccato composition by John Platt of Rotherham, restored and converted for the Landmark Trust by Philip Jebb. It is of stone. The plan is a rectangle with narrower square projections at each end, and then square projections again as balconies supported at first floor level on alternately blocked columns. The centre is of three bays and two storeys, with ionic pilasters and a pediment. There are urns to the parapet and lower wings. Behind the temple is an overgrown maze.{2} There would appear to be some doubt about the architect, either James Paine or John Platt.
