Glenesk Mausoleum, St Marylebone Cemetery

Glenesk Mausoleum is located in St Marylebone Cemetery and was built in 1899 by architect Arthur Blomfield for Lord Glenesk. The mausoleum is constructed of limestone ashlar with a slate roof and has a rectangular plan in the Middle Pointed style. It features corner buttresses and has three bays on both the east and west elevations, each with a two-light Decorated-style window set in a slightly projecting gabled central bay, flanked by lancet windows.

The north gable displays a carved panel depicting Christ flanked by angels and soldiers, along with an inscription and a three-light window of graduated lancets above a pointed-arched doorway with foliate spandrels, all set within a double-chamfered pointed arch. The buttresses are topped with kneeling figures. The south gable features a rose window with dogtooth carving, a three-light window of graduated lancets, and kneeling figures on the buttress finials.

Inside, the mausoleum has a mosaic tile floor and engaged shafts with moulded capitals supporting the springers of a fine three-bay vaulted roof adorned with foliate-carved bosses. The south end includes marble wall shafts with foliate capitals that support the rerearch of the rose window, along with a finely carved stiff-leaf frieze above an inlaid tile reredos and altar. The mausoleum houses three Roman-style sarcophagi for Lord Glenesk (who died in 1908), his son Oliver (who died in 1905), and his wife (who died in 1898). The interior also features fine stained glass.
