Rothschild Mausoleum, Renaissance revival mausoleum in West Ham, England
The circular domed structure features marble construction, Corinthian columns, and detailed ironwork within the West Ham Jewish Cemetery grounds.
Ferdinand James von Rothschild commissioned architect Matthew Digby Wyatt to build this memorial in 1866 for his wife Evelina, who died during childbirth.
The mausoleum walls display inscriptions from Psalm 139 in both English and Hebrew, reflecting the Jewish heritage of the Rothschild family.
The cemetery has restricted access since 2002, and visitors need to arrange permissions in advance through local authorities to view the structure.
Five Commonwealth service graves from World Wars I and II, along with German prisoner of war burials, share the cemetery grounds.
