Picture
  The Classical-styled Constable Mausoleum was designed   by Thomas Atkinson of York for Sir Edward Constable, of   Burton Constable Hall. The temple is 30 feet in   diameter with a domed roof. It cost £10,000, took eight   years to build and was completed in 1802, after the   death of Atkinson by his son.

  It is at the end of an avenue of yew trees.
