De Grey Mausoleum, 17th-century mausoleum in Flitton and Greenfield, England.

The de Grey Mausoleum stands adjacent to St John the Baptist Church, featuring a cruciform structure with its nave positioned against the church chancel.

Construction of the mausoleum started in 1614, with architect Edward Shepherd contributing additional designs between 1739 and 1740 for eastern expansions.

The interior contains twenty monuments dedicated to the de Grey family members, including Henry Grey and his countess Mary Cotton from 1614.

English Heritage maintains and operates the mausoleum, offering public access and educational visits focused on historical architecture and preservation.

The structure ranks among the largest sepulchral chapels in England, containing works by sculptors J. Michael Rysbrack and Matthew Noble.
