Stanley Mausoleum in St Mary's Churchyard

The Stanley Mausoleum, located in St Mary's Churchyard, was built in 1909 by Paul Phipps of London for the fourth Lord Sheffield. It is constructed of buff and red sandstone with a Kerridge stone-slate roof and is designed in the Neo-Jacobean style.

The mausoleum has a long rectangular shape and is two stories high, featuring a symmetrical three-bay north front. The end bays are blank and separated from the center by delicate triangular pilasters. The entrance has a moulded doorcase with a flat four-centred arched head that holds a pair of flat panelled oak doors. Above the door, there is the Stanley crest and a band of carved acanthus. The first story includes a rebated three-light hollow chamfered stone-mullioned window with a band of carved acanthus above it, along with four-light windows on the sides, which are present only on the first story.

Inside, the mausoleum features three elliptically headed recesses on the sides and semi-circular headed niches with a cabled edge at the ends. The interior houses a white marble sarcophagus for the fourth Lord Sheffield and his wife, created in 1925, which is decorated with a band of cherubs and garlands. There are also some brass plaques and an open timber roof.
