Deepdene Mausoleum
Dorking, Mole Valley District, Surrey, England
The Hope Mausoleum, on the grounds of The Deepdene, was consecrated in 1818over the buried ashes of Charles and consecrated as the family burial place by Louisa's cousin, Lord John Beresford, Bishop of Raphoe and afterwards Archbishop of Armagh.
Thomas hope was buried there in 1831, followed by other members of his family. Of the 33 tomb-recesses, only 9 were filled over the years and the last internment was that of the 8th Duke of Newcastle in 1941. In 1954 the Mausoleum was permanently sealed with concrete and buried with earth up to the level of the roof. The next Duke of Newcastle left the Mausoleum and the surrounding land to the town of Dorking in 1960 to be used as a public open space. In 2003 the idea of excavating and restoring the Mausoleum was proposed by a number of amenity groups, including the Mausolea and Monuments Trust.
