It is situated in the cemetery of Brookfield Unitarian Church, Gorton, Manchester.〔The Buildings of England: Lancashire- Manchester and the South East, page 374〕 The mausoleum was designed by the prolific Manchester architect Thomas Worthington. It was made a Grade II * listed structure on 3 October 1974.〔http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-388208-peacock-mausoleum-to-west-of-brookfield-〕 Pevsner's The Buildings of England describes the memorial as "a large three-bay shrine of white stone. Steep roof and statues at the corners – an engineer, blacksmith, draughtsman and architect, supposedly a portrayal of Worthington himself."〔The Buildings of England: Lancashire- Manchester and the South East, page 374〕 Peacock, a partner in the locomotive engineering firm of Beyer, Peacock and Company also paid for the construction of the Brookfield Unitarian Church. ==Notes==
