What is recorded here
Freestanding mausoleum, erected c. 1800, in graveyard containing ruins of medieval church. Flat cut limestone roof. Tooled limestone façade with plinth, and having carved impost course to round-headed entrance opening having moulded archivolt with decorative keystone and cast-iron gate. Partially rendered random red sandstone walls to remaining elevations. Memorial plaque to interior.
This mausoleum is an example of a rare building type. Its classical detailing mark it out as the resting place of the members of a significant local family. It adds variety to the collection of grave markers in the graveyard.
