Description
The Price Mausoleum, located in the churchyard about 26 meters north-north-west of the north-west corner of the nave at the Church of Holy Trinity, was built for the Price family in 1860. It features ashlar stone walls and a roof, designed in the shape of a Greek cross with arms that have little projection and corners that are infilled on a splay at the bottom. The mausoleum is a single storey structure with a moulded plinth all around.
The entrance doorway is accessed by one stone step and is flanked by marble columns. It has a trefoil-headed arch within and a pointed moulded arch above the columns, adorned with ballflower and a hoodmould with leaf stops. A wrought-iron gate fills the openings, with decorative leaves at the ends of the scrolls. The structure is topped with a crocketed gable featuring a leaf finial.
On either side of the mausoleum, there is a slight setback, with the plinth carried across the corners on a splay. Above this, there is a sunk trefoil in a stone gablet, and the stonework slopes back into the corner. The moulded eaves are complemented by similar gables on each side, although the finial on the right side is missing. The roof consists of five courses of stone arranged in a serrated pattern.
At the center, there is a square base that broaches to an octagonal stem above, with ballflower moulding at the base of a crocketed spirelet topped with a leaf finial. The ends of the mausoleum feature blind 2-light windows with trefoil heads and leaf carving in a tall quatrefoil above. There is stained glass in the window opposite the door.
Inside, the mausoleum has a Minton tile floor, a plinth, corner columns, a moulded frieze, and a ribbed stone vault with a floriate central boss. The interior includes an inscription to Frances, the widow of W. Price, who died in 1860, along with two later inscriptions. The mausoleum is marked on the 1864 map of the estate in the Tibberton Estate Office.
