Viscount Craigavon's Tomb, Parliament House, Stormont Estate, Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast, County Antrim, BT4 3XX

Viscount Craigavon's Tomb is a Portland limestone mausoleum erected between 1940 and 1942 to designs by Roland Ingleby Smith, the chief architect and deputy director of works for the Northern Ireland Ministry of Finance. The tomb was commissioned following the death of James Craig, Viscount Craigavon, on 24 November 1940, and the Northern Ireland Parliament passed legislation the following day permitting his burial within the Stormont Estate grounds. The mausoleum was completed in 1942, one of Smith's final contracts before his own death that same year.

The building is a free-standing, rectangular structure constructed in Portland limestone ashlar. It comprises a solid block of limestone with a stepped top and stepped corners, set upon a shallow plinth base and raised on a stepped platform. The tomb is carved with the Craigavon coat of arms on the west face, flanked by two figures in relief. The north face bears an inscription reading "THE RIGHT HONOURABLE / JAMES / VISCOUNT CRAIGAVON OF STORMONT / FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF NORTHERN IRELAND / 1921-1940 / Died Nov.24 1940 / AND HIS WIFE / CECIL VISCOUNTESS CRAIGAVON". The south face is inscribed "ERECTED / BY / THE PARLIAMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND / IN MEMORY / OF / A GREAT ULSTERMAN". The tomb also contains the remains of Cecil Mary Craig, Viscountess Craigavon, who married James Craig in 1905 and was interred with him following her death in 1960.

The design is plain yet boldly conceived, echoing the style and materials of the nearby Parliament Buildings. The mausoleum is located to the east of Stormont Parliament and is set within a small gravel garden enclosed by formal hedging and yew trees, providing a private setting within the Parliament grounds.

James Craig (1871-1940) was born at Sydenham in East Belfast, the son of a wealthy whiskey distiller. He initially pursued a career as a stockbroker before enlisting in the Royal Irish Rifles during the Second Boer War (1899-1900). He began his political career in 1903 when elected to Westminster as a Unionist Member of Parliament. Between 1912 and 1914 he rose to prominence as one of the leaders of the unionist anti-Home Rule movement. Following the Partition of Ireland and the establishment of the Northern Ireland Government, he was appointed the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland in 1921 and created Viscount Craigavon in 1927, serving until his death in 1940.

The tomb was first recorded in the 1985 First Survey as a carved stone block raised on two steps and enclosed by a hedge, and was subsequently listed in 1987. In 2013, approval was granted for restoration works involving the replacement of all damaged stone, cleaning of all surfaces, repointing of all joints using lime mortar, and surface cleaning. The listing encompasses the mausoleum, stone surround, gate and piers. The tomb has group value with other listed structures within the Stormont Estate.
