The Blickling Mausoleum is a pyramid structure made of 190,000 Portland stone blocks. The pyramid originally gleamed white and despite over two centuries of weathering, can still be clearly seen from the south end of the lake.
The doors of the Mausoleum are estimated to weigh approximately 500kg each!
The Mausoleum was commissioned in 1793 by Lady Caroline Suffield, the daughter of John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire, as a tomb for her father and his two wives.
