The Trafford Mausoleum, is a memorial in Wroxham, Norfolk, England. Commissioned after the death of Sigismund Trafford Southwell in 1827, the mausoleum was designed by Anthony Salvin in Gothic Revival style. It is a Grade II listed structure.

History and architecture

The building has been used to bury members of the Trafford family.[1] The Traffords of Wroxham Hall (now demolished) held land in the area from the Middle Ages.[2]

Sigismund Trafford Southwell, High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1818, died in 1827. His wife Margaret approached Anthony Salvin to design a mausoleum which was constructed c.1830.[3] It was built in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Wroxham.[4] Salvin exhibited the design at the Royal Academy in 1830.[4] The style is Early English Gothic,[4] described in the Norfolk 1: Norwich and the North-East volume of Pevsner as a; "correct, rather cold later 13th century style".[5] The mausoleum is a Grade II listed structure.[4]
