About this Event
Ailesbury Mausoleum and Crypt
Heritage Open Day: Ailesbury Mausoleum and Crypt was built by Thomas Bruce, the first Earl of Elgin in 1656 as a memorial to his second wife, Diana. Ailesbury Mausoleum is regarded as a fine example of one of the first mausolea to be built in this country with the earliest parts being built by Thomas Bruce, a descendant of the legendary Robbie, the first Earl of Elgin in 1656 as a memorial to his second wife, Diana, Countess of Oxford. The mausoleum, in St Mary's Churchyard, is in the care of Central Bedfordshire Council and is managed by Maulden History Society and Maulden Parochial Church Council.
