Description
The Fitzpatrick family mausoleum, located on the east side of the southern half of the public gardens in Paddington Street, Westminster, is a family mausoleum likely built in 1759 by the Hon Richard Fitzpatrick in memory of his wife. The site was previously St Marylebone (or St George's) Burial Ground, which opened in 1733. This mausoleum is constructed from Portland stone and features a square, unique neo-classical design that resembles a conduit head. Each face is flanked by stout angle piers, with the southern face featuring an opening under a shallow segmental arch that springs from bold imposts. The other three faces have similar blind panels. Above the southern opening is swagged drapery with an inscribed plaque, and there are similar plaques over the panel arches. The structure has a bold cornice and blocking course, from which a massive square dome rises, topped with a shaped pedestal that supports a funerary urn.
