Description
The Freeman Mausoleum is a Grade II* listed structure built in 1750, designed by John Freeman of Fawley Court as a family tomb in memory of his father. The mausoleum is constructed of ashlar stone with flint repairs. It features an octagonal base with a moulded plinth and cornice, topped with a shallow sloping roof. Above the base is a rusticated drum that includes a cornice, offsets, and a shallow dome. The base has an inscription on the south face and a rectangular entrance with an iron gate on the north side. The drum is adorned with four raised panels, two of which contain small oval windows, while one panel displays a heraldic shield and another features a Latin inscription. The design is inspired by the mausoleum of Cecilia Metella on the Appian Way in Rome.
