Seaton Deleval Mausoleum
An abandoned house hidden away amonst the trees behind Seaton Deleval Hall, just off the Northumberland Coast
The mausoleum was built by Sir John Hussey Delaval as a memorial to his son John who died in 1775, aged 20, according to the Shell Guide, “as a result of being kicked in a vital organ by a laundry maid to whom he was paying addresses”. It is said never to have been used for burial, however, because Sir John could not agree a fee for its consecration with the Bishop of Durham.
Around 1900, brick partitions, an extra floor, a staircase and three fireplaces were inserted in the mausoleum so it could be used as a house. But by 1950 the house had been abandoned and the structure was already derelict.

Inch Abbey graveyard Mausoleums
I'm back down at Inch Abbey outside Downpatrick. This time I'm in the adjoining graveyard to look at the examples of mausoleums found there.
The graveyard at Inch abbey is marked out by a walled enclosure to the north of the old abbey. The abbey is about half a mile south of the new road from Crossgar to Downpatrick across a new Quoile bridge It is in the townland and parish of Inch. The word means an island and it was one in the Quoile marshes until modern times The site is very beautiful overlooking the river and Downpatrick Cathedral. A Celtic monastery existed here of which little is known but in 1180 John de Courcy established a Cisterican abbey. the nave of which was completed about 1200 The abbey church fell into ruins in the fifteenth century and a new parish church was built in 1610 in the centre of the present grave- yard (Lewis) A stone from this church or earlier is over the Maxwell vault and a crucifixion scene of this period is in the modern church The ruins of the church were pulled down to make way for the Maxwell vault, which dominates the graveyard Two old stones of 1662 have been built into the approach to this and are the oldest extant in the graveyard though one to Melville of 1628 formerly existed in the abbey. The graveyard Is in very good order but the Gray stone had to be pieced together from about 30 fragments,.The present Inch Parish Church is 1 miles to the north and was built in 1730 with a tower added in 1784 and an aisle In 1826 One memorial tablet from it has been included below There is no graveyard round this church The Parish registers are preserved in parochial custody, baptisms from 1767, marriages from 1764 and burials from 1788 Two inscriptions from the graveyard are included in Memorials of the Dead, XI, 26 In the Linen Hall Library (Blackwood Collection) is a typed volume entitled 'Gossiping about the Parish of Inch' by T W Hanna, dated 1861.

Movilla Cemetery 1708 GRAVE and MAUSOLEUM
I spotted this mausoleum type grave structure in Movilla Cemetery and checking it out I found that the main family headstone dated from 1708.
I thought it was worth recording. I have never come across anything quite like this before in any of the local cemeteries, not the way the roof and pillars are arranged anyway.
The word derives from the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (near modern-day Bodrum in Turkey), the grave of King Mausolus, the Persian satrap of Caria, whose large tomb was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Historically, mausolea were, and still may be, large and impressive constructions for a deceased leader or other person of importance. However, smaller mausolea soon became popular with the gentry and nobility in many countries. In the Roman Empire, these were often ranged in necropoles or along roadsides: the via Appia Antica retains the ruins of many private mausolea for miles outside Rome. However, when Christianity became dominant, mausoleums were out of use
A mausoleuma is an external free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of a deceased person or people. A monument without the interment is a cenotaph. A mausoleum may be considered a type of tomb, or the tomb may be considered to be within the mausoleum. A Christian mausoleum sometimes includes a chapel.
Flitton Potato Race 2014
Flitton Potato Race - 22nd June 2014 - Hot Potatoes!! - sponsored by Isle Of Ely -
What a glorious day, the sun was out and so were the crowds to watch the highlight of the year in Flitton, 'The Flitton 2014 Potato Race'.
It was hot (27C+), and so were the potato runners, the competition had reached boiling point - this wasn't for the faint hearted!
As the church clock displayed high noon, the runners were on their marks and with potato sacks held high (mostly on the shoulders wrapped around the neck, although there were many different styles of transporting the potatoes!) the mile sprint to obtain potato glory began.
First potato man across the line was Stephan Ball, who completed the mile with 20kgs on his back with the winning time of 6.06 mins, closely followed by Steve Upton who actually collapsed across the line due to heat exhaustion - we are happy to say this was a short episode and he has made a full recovery. Third was Andy Bierton.
The first potato Lady was Lizzie Sanes with a time of 6.33 mins, what a fantastic effort! Second was Michelle Morris and third Amy Farr.
The mens relay 1st Plaice (!) was won by 'The Cod Squad' and they flew down the High Street - it was like they had wings! Second place went to 'Wheeler Potato Peelers' and third was 'Jolly Coopers'.
'Tasty Totty' won the Ladies relay followed by 'Isle of Ely' who came in a fabulous 2nd, one place higher than last year - nice try girls! Third place was 'Silsoe Striders'.
The gardens of 'The White Hart' were packed and there were many stalls and fun events for the children to get involved in.
All proceeds raised that day went to the MIND charity.
All in all - a great day, a great turnout and 'All hail the magnificent spud!

Seaton Delaval Hall Mausoleum
I love exploring so we decided to go and find Seaton Delaval Hall Mausoleum. It’s hidden away in the trees and it is quite a little trek to get there but definitely worth it in the end. The Mausoleum has never been used for burial as the grounds were never consecrated by the Church. It now stands almost in ruins in a beautiful sleep spot in Northumberland’s breathtaking countryside and near Coast.
