Milton Mausoleum, Grade I listed mausoleum in West Markham, England
The Milton Mausoleum stands on a hill with an octagonal lantern at its crossing, featuring Doric pilasters and pedimented gables in Neoclassical architecture style.
Commissioned by the 4th Duke of Newcastle and completed in 1833, the structure served both as a family mausoleum and a parish church until the 1950s.
The interior contains box pews, biblical texts on painted boards, and memorial plaques commemorating the Dukes of Newcastle and other notable individuals.
Visitors can observe the mausoleum from the Markham Moor junction on the A1 road, where its position on elevated ground makes it clearly visible.
The Milton Mausoleum remains the only surviving structure of its kind in Nottinghamshire, featuring a distinctive cruciform plan with tomb chambers as transepts.
