What is recorded here
Raised limestone square-plan pyramidal mausoleum, erected c. 1855, located within the grounds of Saint Munchin's Church of Ireland churchyard. Composed of tapering smooth ashlar limestone, laid in overlapping courses, with cement pointing. Rock-faced limestone pedestal with name plaque reading 'Bannatyne' in high relief on east elevation.
A bold and confident version of the pyramidal shaped mausoleum. It is adapted to reduce the risk of water infiltration. It is of historical significance as it is the family vault of prominent grain merchants, the Bannatynes. This monumental Victorian form reflects the industrial base of the family’s wealth.
