Detached single-bay aediculated limestone ashlar mausoleum, built c. 1880, in the Doric order, to form a miniature classical temple. To north and south elevations Doric piers support entablature comprising frieze (without triglyphs, though guttae make an appearance) with lettering to front and foliate scrollwork to remaining sides, and dentil enriched cornice, from which a pediment rises. Figurative sculpture to principal pediment obscured by ivy growth. Raised lettering beneath reads: BLESSED ARE THE DEAD WHO DIE IN THE LORD THAT THEY MAY REST FROM THEIR LABOURS FOR THEIR WORKS FOLLOW THEM: 'APOCALYPSE'. Tetrastyle east and west elevations with Doric pilasters and channel rusticated infill elevations supporting entablature. Elaborate wrought-iron gates to north and south elevations closing opening to single-cell naos. Pitched limestone flagged temple roof structure. Commemorative plaque to interior read: IN MEMORY OF ALDERMAN JOHN QUIN D.L. DIED 11TH FEBRUARY 1883, AGES 70 YEARS.
