The Mausoleum and bastion wall with gates and railings, Kirk Hill, Castle Howard Estate, Henderskelfe - North Yorkshire Council (UA)
Mausoleum by Hawksmoor, from 1729 to 1742, modelled on the tomb of Metella. Situated on a bluff circa 1.2 kilometres east of the mansion and visible from the Temple Terrace and the Temple of the Four Winds, both south east of the mansion. The columns were repaired with a grant in the 1980s. The entablature and bastions continue to decay; much of the damage is due to rusting cramps. The staircase balustrade is collapsing. A condition survey has been completed and the repair of the Mausoleum is under discussion.
