- II
Tredidon is shown on OS map as Tredidon Barton. Mausoleum. Circa 1865. Roughly coursed slate-stone with granite quoins and massive granite slab roof. Mausoleum is square in plan with gently sloping roof. Set in low square-walled enclosure with plank door in small pointed doorway on south side. South side of mausoleum has low pointed arch-way with inscription on stone the shape of a headstone commemorating James Bucknell of Tredidon (d 1865). Blind quatrefoil to top. The mausoleum is said to be on the site of Bucknell's favourite spot. It is said that he intended the rest of his family to be buried here but a dispute with the local vicar meant that no one else was allowed to be buried here on unconsecrated ground.
