Nash Mausoleum
Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, High Street, Farningham, Dartford, Kent, DA4 0DG
The strange design of this mausoleum with its dome surmounted by a four-legged obelisk topped with a carved flower does suggest the hand of Nash. It may also be argued that the incongruity between the rugged rustication on the lower walls and the delicacy, even thinness, of the mouldings higher up, can be explained by the inexperience of the architect. The plan of the building is relatively simple; it has a square central chamber flanked by wings each containing nine loculi. All save one of these is sealed by a slate panel bearing an inscription.
