 The Octagonal Tower, another high viewing point

 Part of the formally laid-out water garden

Another statue, which I think is Endymion

The Victorian Church of St Mary the Virgin, William Burges's religious masterpiece in the grounds of Studley Royal.  Studley Royal House itself was demolished in 1946 after being badly damaged by fire.
