Much of the chapel has fallen down, though the mausoleum is still largely intact. The most prominent feature of the complex is a tall hexagonal turret built at the angle between the chapel and anteroom adjoining the burial chamber. The anteroom is lit by a two-light traceried window and used to have memorial plaques on the walls.

The Hon Thomas Wallace rebuilt much of Featherstone Castle in the 1820s in a romanticised Gothic manner. At the same time he surrounded the garden with a wall and embellished it with turrets and gateways. There is also a chapel in the grounds and the mausoleum is attached to this. It was built in 1828 following the death of Wallace’s wife, Lady Jane Hope.
Ruinous and covered with ivy (2004).
