The Mausolea and Monuments Trust is a charity for the "protection and preservation of mausolea and funerary monuments situated in Great Britain and Ireland." The trust was founded in 1997 by the architectural historian Jill Allibone (1932–1998). Tim Knox, then the director of the Soane Museum and the trust's first chairman, described it as “the dottiest conservation cause in the land”.
The trust has responsibility for six mausolea:
The Bateman Mausoleum, Morley, Derbyshire The Heathcote Mausoleum, Hursley, Hampshire The Wynne Ellis Mausoleum, Whitstable, Kent The Nash Mausoleum, Farningham, Kent The Guise Mausoleum, Elmore, Gloucestershire The Boileau Mausoleum, Ketteringham, Norfolk
The trust publishes a regular journal titled Mausolus, and researches and maintains a gazetteer of mausolea in Great Britain and Ireland.
