A memorial to Pamela Chance who died in 1981. It was erected by her husband Ivan Oswald Chance in 1983. It is built overlooking the meadow to the S of the lodge. It consists of a circular cobbled area 4m in diameter around the perimeter of which are set seven cast iron pillars each about 3m high, equally spaced set in the tops of seven concrete columns which are about 0.4m square and 0.75m high. In the centre is a circular slate slab inscribed thus: "This Temple was erected in memory of Pamela Chance who loved Colby. I.O.C. 1983". Built partly from reused pieces, the cast iron pillars being cast according to an integral moulding in each, in 1884 by John Lysacht of Bristol. 25m above O.D.
