Why it mattered
mausoleum — Strade matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: 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. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
