West Markham Mausoleum

Milton
West Markham
England

Designed by Robert Smirke and built in 1831-2. It was intended as a tomb for Georgiana, 4th Duchess of Newcastle, who died in 1822. Beneath the building was a vault with enough room for 72 coffins although only 12 were ever buried there. It replaced the dilapidated parish church of All Saints but became redundant in 1971.
