Gibside Chapel


The mausoleum chapel at the south end of the 'Grand Walk' at Gibside was built following the death of George Bowes, owner of the estate, in 1760. The Greek Palladian-style building was designed by James Paine for Lord Strathmore, who had inherited the estate. George Bowes was finally interred in the mausoleum on its completion in 1812. Today, the chapel, along with much of the Gibside estate is a National Trust property. The building is Grade 1 listed on the National Heritage List for England.
