What is recorded here

Detached gable-fronted mausoleum, built c. 1820, now roofless and pedimented to front and rear elevations. Cut limestone eaves course to rear and side elevations, moulded limestone copings to pediment and cut limestone plinth to front elevation. Cut limestone walls to front elevation and rendered elsehwere. Rusticated carved limestone Doric-style pilasters to front elevation, having moulded plinths and capitals, with moulded limestone impost course. Round-headed entrance opening with double-leaf cast-iron gate and having railings above. Remains of medieval church to north-west. Square-profile piers to graveyard entrance, having rounded caps, wrought-iron gate and with stone stile to east side.
This mausoleum of the Jackson family is of a sombre classical design, with interesting features such as the carved limestone voussoirs to the arch and Doric-style columns. These features are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen.
