There are many fascinating Norfolk landmarks, but have you ever spotted our very own pyramid tomb?
The Blickling Mausoleum is one of Blickling Estate's most well-known landmarks, but have you ever wondered what the monument actually is?
The grade-two listed building was commissioned by Lady Caroline Suffield in 1793.
It was built as a tomb for Lady Suffield's father John Hobart, Blickling's owner and the second Earl of Buckinghamshire, and his two wives Mary Anne and Caroline.

Made of 190,000 Portland Stone blocks which originally gleamed white, the mausoleum is based on the Pyramid of Cestius in Rome, which was built around 18BC and is also still standing.
Above the front entrance is a sculpture of the Hobart coat of arms, flanked by a stag and a hound.
