A dour-looking mausoleum built of huge blocks of Aberdeen granite in a stripped Grecian style with a stepped pyramidal roof, heavy cornice and pediment over the doorway. There is a shield with a stag’s head attached to the lattice work of the wooden door, and a carving of a winged hourglass in the pediment above.

Edward Mackenzie (d.1880) bought Fawley Court in 1852. He was a banker who came from Renfrewshire in Scotland. The family mausoleum was built following the death of his first wife, Mary, in 1861. When he died the house, together with its extensive park and surrounding farmland, passed to his son, William Dalziel Mackenzie (1840-1928) a man who listed his recreations in Who’s Who as “farms largely, estate improvements, planting etc”. He was MP, first for Reading and later for Truro and Woodstock, and published a paper on “The Agricultural Depression and the Fiscal Question”.
