This atmospheric, partly ruined building started life as a church in the c15th but was converted to a mausoleum in 1877 after a new church was commissioned. Today only the chancel and north chapel remain intact. In the chancel brass and stone memorials and alabaster effigies from the c16 and c17 trace the powerful Wentworth Family. These include one to the Earl of Stafford, a supporter of the crown, who was beheaded on Tower Hill just before the Civil War, and Charles Watson-Wentworth, the 2nd Marquis of Rockingham who helped negotiate an end to the American War of Independence
