The monument was erected by Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby (of Plas Newydd) in 1810 in memory of their housekeeper and friend, Mary Carryl, who died in November 1809. However, upon her death it was decided (by them) that they would all be
buried together. The commemorative structure was designed by Mr Thomas Netherton Parker of Sweeney Hall, Oswestry ( a friend of the Ladies); with the epitaph being composed by Dr Dealtry.
