I think the info that "it was inspired by the front of Buckingham Palace, London" is worth mentioning in the lede.
The evidence is not really strong enough to include it in the lead. I have in fact amended the text in the body and put "evidently inspired" in quotes.--

History
"but in about 1790–92 built the Garden Temple, a building in Classical style." I think "he" should be added before built here.
" Following the war the fabric of the hall and the estate deteriorated, and in 1960 it was decided to sell them." -"fabric" I think is a little confusing here, it makes it look as if you mean selling the actual fabric of the hall! You don't mean that now do you?
"There is also a complete scheme of Crace decoration" -not sure "complete scheme" is best here.
I have removed "complete", although P&P do say "A complete and splendid Crace scheme". However this drew my attention to an error. I had said it was in the Library, but it was actually in the Gallery - corrected. --

Please refer to each one as The Pantheon or The Garden Temple rather than "this" following on from the header.
Are there really no photos available for the Pantheon? I'd be particularly interested in seeing a picture of it and I think it would much help the article.
No, very frustrating. The hall, with its Catholic connections, has always been very secluded (I drive past it frequently, and there is nothing to see from any road). Being a nursing home, and being used as a convent, it has retained its privacy. I have found no recent free-to-use depictions of the hall or of the associated buildings, other than the gateways. --

As you even link things like busts, perhaps like stuccoed too.
"The frieze contains a Latin inscription, which translates as "In this place it is summer and winter all year round", referring to the fact that the building was heated by air from external fireplaces. " Can you give the Latin inscription in italics literally here for reference purposes?
