Description

The Mackenzie Mausoleum, built in 1862 for the Mackenzie family of Fawley Court, is a mausoleum constructed from large blocks of Aberdeen granite. It is approximately Grecian in style and features a square shape with a shallow stepped pyramid roof, a plain entablature, and a roll-moulded plinth. The north side has an entrance that includes an inscription frieze and a projecting pediment supported by heavy pilasters. The tympanum displays a winged hourglass. The wooden door has a latticed upper panel and is adorned with a heraldic stag's head. The other sides of the mausoleum feature panels with carved urns set in narrow flanking recesses. The east and west panels contain inscriptions, while the south panel is heraldic.

Local climate

Mackenzie Mausoleum sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 84% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
