This mausoleum may have been built by Henry Pett Hannam of Northbourne Court (d.1839) as the earliest burial is that of one of his daughters-in-law, Charlotte (d.1834) the first wife of Henry Tessard Hannam. Three of Henry Pett’s sons, Henry Tessard (date of death not known) Edward Pett (d. 1868) and Charles (d.1864) were also buried there. The Hannam family lived in the modest eighteenth century house built on the site of the earlier mansion of the same name. The last known date at which a family member was buried in the mausoleum is 1869. A small plan of the interments dated 1901 (with later alterations) suggests there were twelve burials in all.
Fairly good, though there were weeds growing in the crevices of the stonework (1998).
