Background
History
The mausoleum was built in 1807–08 for George Leveson-Gower, the 2nd Marquess of Stafford and later 1st Duke of Sutherland by architect Charles Heathcote Tatham. Heathcote Tatham was a friend of Elizabeth, the Duke's wife, and along with his commission he constructed several buildings, including a lodge and bridges, at the nearby Trentham Hall.
Architecture
The mausoleum is constructed in ashlar in a neo-classical style with Egyptian details. The entrance doorway is relatively small with doors decorated in highly ornate wrought-iron work and a heavy stone lintel. The mausoleum is surmounted by a small tower, with louvred windows and a pyramidal roof. Above the doorway is the family coat of arms and the inscription "MDCCCVIII", signifying the completion date of 1808.
