Following Georgiana's tragic death the Duke commission Robert Smirke, the leading architect of the day to design a family mausoleum. Very unusually this was also to incorporate a parish church.

Whilst this work was being carried out the Duke contacted Richard Westmacott about a marble memorial to his beloved wife. Westmacott suggested a Madonna and child, but the Duke wrote in his diary of 1825:

"... I shall prefer something else. I have given him the idea. It is to be my dear child Anna Maria borne in a cloud, ready to receive my beloved and sore lamented wife, who looks towards her having in each arm an infant who are preparing to advance to Heaven."

In this 28 page fully illustrated booklet you can see the finished memorial for yourself.
