Description

The Wynn Ellis Mausoleum, located in All Saints Churchyard, was built in 1875 by Charles Barry Junior. This mausoleum is constructed from Portland stone and features cast iron railings. It has a cella with a stepped pyramidal roof and a prominent metope frieze adorned with paterae. Steps lead to the vault, which is flanked by rusticated walls. The vault has pylon-shaped doors with a lintel inscribed "JANUA VITAE," and the wooden doors display a "WE" monogram along with quatrefoil grilles. Surrounding the mausoleum is a dwarf enclosing wall with cast iron railings that are inscribed with "CHARLES BARRY" and "ST PANCRAS IRONWORKS 1875."

Wynn Ellis (1790-1875) was a silk merchant from London and a liberal Member of Parliament, noted for his collection of Old Master paintings. The mausoleum was constructed after the death of his wife in 1872. Charles Barry was also involved in the extensive rebuilding of All Saints Church during 1875-76.
