The Grade II* mausoleum, designed by G. F. Bodley, was built in 1897, in memory of Sir Hugh Alleyne Sacheverell-Bateman, by his wife Anna. It is built in red sandstone in a Perpendicular Gothic revival style. It has a marble sarcophagus which stands in the centre of the floor, with cut-glass in the lid.
