Description

The Boileau Mausoleum, built in 1854 for Sir John Peter Boileau of Ketteringham Hall, is located approximately 15 metres east of the Church of St Peter. It is constructed from gault brick laid in Flemish bond, with ashlar dressings and quoins, and features a roof made of four stone slabs. The mausoleum has a square plan and a gabled west front that includes a stone Doric doorcase. This doorcase has side pilasters with capitals that support an architrave featuring the Boileau arms on the keyblock. There is a cornice on two consoles and a four-panel iron door. The pedimented gable head once had a stone acroterion at the apex. The sides and rear of the mausoleum are plain, with each side containing two iron ventilation grilles. The interior has not been inspected.
