The Packe Family Mausoleum.
Mr Charles William Packe M.P. for Leicestershire South and owner of the 745 acre Branksome Estate is interred here with his wife Kitty (Packe-Redding). Mr. Packe died in 1867 and his wife in 1870.
Subsequent owners of the Branksome Estate converted and extended the Packe's home, 'Branksome Tower', into the 'The Branksome Towers Hotel' (since demolished) and sold the remainder of the land, initially in parcels of one acre (minimum), for substantial private dwellings. Today, 'Branksome Park' is an exclusive area of Poole in Dorset
