Just doing some reading about the mausoleum: This obituary of Norman Routledge includes a quote from the present Earl of Wemyss which explains that he was taught by Routledge at Eton and obviously held him in high regard, which explains the connection, if not the full explanation: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/norman-routledge-inspirational-teacher-and-mathematician-8635050.html

Hello Linda. I tried to find the connection when I wrote this post, but couldn’t find any information I’m afraid. I hope someone else knows the answer.

It’s stunning! Does anybody know why Norman Routledge is buried there? What was his connection to the house?
