Werburgh Drive, STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST4 8LF

Opposite the main gates of Trentham Gardens is the only grade I listed building in Stoke-on-Trent. It features a solid oak door at the front, a window at the rear and an upper storey with four louvred windows, one on each flank. The gloomy interior, with its Greek Cross plan, has tunnel-vaulted arms. The ashlar walls slope inwards on all sides. This mausoleum was built in 1807-8 to the design of Charles Heathcote Tatham of Trentham. In 1907 the bodies of the half-dozen members of the Levison-Gower family laid to rest in the catacombs were removed and buried in special lead coffins elsewhere within the cemetery compound; descriptive tablets were placed above each grave.

The mausoleum was built in 1807-08 for the Marquis of Stafford (the late Duke of Sutherland) as the final resting place for his family members - the Sutherland family were extremely influential in the city at that time and owned the nearby Trentham Park. The mausoleum is a Grade I listed building (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-384487-mausoleum- British Listed Buildings).

This massive erection is said to be the only Grade I listed structure in the Potteries. It was constructed c.1808 by C.H.Tatham for the Marquis of Stafford, later Duke of Sutherland, directly opposite his seat at Trentham Park.
