Barbour Mausoleum In All Saints Churchyard

The Barbour Mausoleum, located in All Saints Churchyard, was built in 1885. It is constructed from buff sandstone with dressings of Peterhead granite and has a rectangular shape. The mausoleum features a stepped hipped cap topped with a slab that has a cross on it. The long sides are adorned with six short pilasters on a moulded plinth, which have granite shafts and crude capitals. There are four similar pilasters on the short sides. The ridges of the hips are moulded and end in raised palmettes. This large and squat structure is a notable example of "roguish" Victorian architecture, with the side panels inscribed with memorials to members of the Barbour family, the earliest being Robert, who died in 1885.
