The building is located on the corner of Paston Place and was built in 1892 as a mausoleum for the Sassoon family who lived in a neighbouring house. Two generations of the family were buried here but a third decided to sell it in 1933 and moved the graves to London. After that the building was used as a furniture repository, boxing club and air raid shelter. In 1949 it was purchased by a brewery who attached it to the neighbouring Hanbury Arms and used as an entertainment venue known as the Hanbury Ballroom. The pub closed in 2006 and since then a number of ventures have passed through with the latest occupants Proud Cabaret running a combined restaurant and cabaret experience since 2011.
