Mussenden Temple (Image: By D LN, Wikipedia) |
As part of the students' National Diploma at Northern Regional College, Ballymoney, County Antrim, they have researched and created a "3D" graphical reconstruction of Mussenden Temple, DOWNHILL DEMESNE, County Londonderry, as it is looked around the early 1800s.
Below is a short, three-minute video clip providing us with a flavour of how the interior of the Temple might have appeared two centuries ago.
The interior of the Temple afforded exquisite beauty and grandeur, with copious gilding and elegant plasterwork.
A broad path and wall originally existed in front of the Temple.

The cliff has been receding to the extent that, in the late 1990s, bolts and anchors were inserted into the rock in order to stablilize the cliff face.
Downhill is a property of the National Trust.
