Summary edit

Description

Mausoleum by William Burn commissioned by Mrs Lyne-Stephens on the death of her husband. By July 1861 she had applied for permission to enclose 1/2 an acre of land adjoining the cemetery on Barnes Common for consecration and the removal there of her husband's remains. The application said that ‘she wanted her husband’s remains in some place near her own residence and to erect a tomb of some importance to his memory.’ The mausoleum, next to the then parish church of Roehampton and now in the grounds of Roehampton University at Grove House was consecrated in 1864 by Bishop Tait and Mrs Lyne-Stephens was buried there in the white sarcophagus, decorated with the Lyne Stephens coat of arms, besides her husband in 1894.
