- Little Stanmore, London (Chandos Mausoleum (St Lawrence's Church))
This early 18th-century church is one of the glories of English Baroque architecture.
The Trust only cares for the lavish Chandos Mausoleum that was added to the church in 1736. It has a magnificent monument by master carver Grinling Gibbons.
The walls and ceiling of the Mausoleum are lavishly decorated with a rare and remarkable example of 18th-century illusionistic wallpaintings in an English parish church by artist Gaetano Brunetti to complement the tomb of the 1st Duke of Chandos.
There are also hatchments in the ante-room.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
