What is recorded here
Mausoleum in Abington puts WILKINSON on a riveted iron door with the determination of an Irish mother labelling a school coat. Go on, now. Tell her you got it mixed up with somebody else’s.
Freestanding gable-fronted limestone mausoleum, built c. 1860. Pitched felt roof with limestone copings. Dressed walls having cut quoins. Pointed arch opening with cut block-and-start surround and cast-iron panelled door having rivets and raised lettering reading family name of 'Wilkinson'.
This attractive mausoleum, erected to house the remains of the Wilkinson family, is of a simple architectural appearance and forms an appealing feature in the grounds of the graveyard. The construction of this mausolea attest to high quality stone masonry, which is particularly evident in the fine carved detailing, including cut door surround that enhance the artistic value of the composition. The cast-iron door adds further interest to the building.
