Description
The monument to James Bucknell, located approximately 300 meters northeast of Tredidon, is a mausoleum built around 1865. It is constructed from roughly coursed slate-stone with granite quoins and features a massive granite slab roof. The mausoleum has a square plan and a gently sloping roof, and it is set within a low square-walled enclosure that includes a plank door in a small pointed doorway on the south side. The south side of the mausoleum features a low pointed archway with an inscription on a stone shaped like a headstone, commemorating James Bucknell of Tredidon, who died in 1865. Above this inscription is a blind quatrefoil. The mausoleum is said to be situated on Bucknell's favorite spot, and it is noted that he intended for the rest of his family to be buried there; however, a dispute with the local vicar prevented any further burials on the unconsecrated ground.
