This churchyard had been closed to burials since the 19th century however I cannot find record if this mausoleum has been used since.
The mausoleum itself is made of stone, the door looks original and is heavily padlocked. The tracery above the door is twisted and rusty.
I can see no name or dedication, however the Lowndes family were large benefactors to the church so it could be theirs.
The church is hoping to restore the building which is why it is fenced off.
Visiting Hours/Restrictions:
The churchyard is open all the time but discretion is obviously needed at night.
