Mausoleum Of Sir Joseph William Bazalgette 20 Yards To North East Of Chancel Of St Marys Church

The Sir Joseph Bazalgette Mausoleum is a Grade II listed structure currently on Historic England’s Heritage-at-Risk Register. It stands in the grounds of St Mary's Church, Wimbledon, in the London Borough of Merton. The mausoleum is the final resting place of the noted Victorian engineer Sir Joseph

Bazalgette and many members of his family. It was built circa 1804 for John Anthony Rucker, a local merchant trader, businessman and slave-owner based at West Hill House, East Putney. Bazalgette acquired the mausoleum for his family towards the end of the 19th century as the churchyard was full.
