The De Grey Mausoleum houses 17 monuments spanning nearly two and a half centuries to the De Grey family of Wrest Park. It really is impressive and our knowledgeable volunteer guides can tell you all about the striking monuments, family and history.

Next to Flitton church, the mausoleum was originally a chapel added by Henry Grey 6th Earl of Kent in about 1605 as a burial place for his family and descendants. The church itself had been built by the De Grey family of Wrest Park in the mid 15th century. The mausoleum has limited opening and this opening is taking places especially for the Heritage Open Days. The monuments and sculptures are stunning and the volunteer guides can tell you fascinating stories about the mausoleum and the De Grey family.
