The mausoleum was built for George Lopes (1836-1909) and his wife Georgina (d.1912) who lived at Northleigh in Wiltshire. He was the fourth son of Sir Ralph Lopes and the younger brother of Henry Charles Lopes, 1st Baron Ludlow (see Ludlow mausoleum). As a young man he went into the army, later becoming a JP and Deputy Lieutenant for Wiltshire.
Good. The chapel is maintained by the Zoological Society to which the family left a large gift on condition of its upkeep. (July 2021)
