Though I'd repost this here as it's now lost in the deleted rookie posts of 28dl and I thought others might be interested if you hadn't seen it before?

Some History:-

Sir John Hussey Delaval built this mausoleum in 1775. It is cross-shaped in plan and includes a chapel above a basement. It was never used and was turned into a house around 1900. It was empty by the 1950s.

Might hoy the dogs on their leads and have a wander there at the weekend, oddly in all my years growing up in New Hartley and going to Sluice Middle School in the 80's I knew it was there but never been along to look at it.

Small world, I used to live in the Sluice, the Mausoleum by the way is circled by a Ha Ha, but if you walk around it your sure to see a way up :)
 
If your nickname on here is the same as one you had at school, then I've a feeling that I suspect you were at school around the same time I was, maybe a year or two older...
