The Holland Mausoleum within the Brick Church Ruin

            From 1850 the nave of the church was used for burials and one of the most impressive memorials is the grand mausoleum of the Hollond family. This grandiose display of Victorian wealth was built in 1867 of red sandstone, limestone and marble by Robert Hollond for himself and his family. Hollond was the seventh son of William Hollond of the East India Company. In his youth, he became interesting in flying and achieved fame by flying his balloon from Vauxhall Gardens across the English Channel and safely landing in the town of Weilburg, in Germany. In 1837, he became a member of Parliament for Hastings. Three years later Hollond married his wife Ellen, and they lived together in Stanmore Hall, until Robert’s death in 1877. Ellen was well known in her own right as an authoress and philanthropist. She opened a nursing home in Paris and established the first creche in London in 1854. She died at Stanmore Hall in 1884 and joined her beloved Robert in the family tomb.
