Description
The Thompson Mausoleum, located approximately twenty metres south-west of the Church of the Holy Trinity, is a mid-18th century mausoleum built for Henry Thompson of Kirby Hall, who died in 1760. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a lead roof. The structure is a rotunda surrounded by an attached Greek Doric colonnade, which includes a triglyph frieze and cornice. This colonnade supports a plain drum and a ribbed domed roof.
The east-facing doorway is sealed with an inscribed memorial slab that lists the names of those interred within. The inscription reads:
HOC IN MAUSOLEO
IACENT SEPULTI
HI QUORUM SUBTUS
INSCRIBUNTUR NOMINA
The doorway is framed by an architrave with a pulvinated frieze and cornice, beneath a raised rectangular panel inscribed with:
HENRICUS THOMPSON
