What is recorded here
Mausoleum in Strade credits Peter Quin with building it, then specifies that he did it on Robert G Rookwood's orders. With pointed battlements on such a small building, that's a wonderfully permanent way of saying, 'The little castle was his idea.'
Attached single-bay single-stage mausoleum, dated 1813, on a rectangular plan. In ruins, 1944. Roof now missing. Rendered, ruled and lined walls centred on inscribed cut-limestone panel ("1813") with lichen-covered cut-limestone "pointed" battlemented parapet. Set in shared grounds with wrought iron railings to perimeter.
A mausoleum erected (1813) 'by Peter Quin by ordr [sic] of Robert G Rookwood Esq' representing an integral component of the early nineteenth-century heritage of Strade.
