Chandos Mausoleum, Baroque mausoleum in Little Stanmore, United Kingdom

The Chandos Mausoleum exhibits early 18th-century English Baroque architecture on the north side of St Lawrence Whitchurch church in the London Borough of Harrow.

James Gibbs designed this burial structure in 1735 following the death of James Brydges' second wife, incorporating elements from classical architecture.

The interior features wall paintings with trompe-l'œil effects and a ceiling that replicates the Pantheon dome in Rome with Rococo style details.

Visitors can access the mausoleum on Sundays through the Churches Conservation Trust, with Canons Park Underground station located within a 10-minute walking distance.

The west wall displays a sculptural monument by Grinling Gibbons showing the Duke in Roman attire with kneeling figures representing his wives.
