Hamilton Mausoleum

Client:

South Lanarkshire Council

The Story

Go-Wright Ltd was commissioned by South Lanarkshire Council to lead a specialist refurbishment of the historic Hamilton Mausoleum. Originally constructed as a monument to Alexander, the 10th Duke of Hamilton, this Category A listed structure is renowned as one of the finest private tombs in the UK. Our role was to deliver a sensitive restoration that respected the building’s immense architectural heritage while ensuring its structural longevity

Our Technical Approach

The project required a multi-disciplinary approach to conservation, combining traditional masonry skills with modern site management. Our specialist team executed: 

  • Specialist Stonework Refurbishment: Carefully restoring the intricate masonry that defines the 36-metre-high domed chapel. 
  • Traditional Lime Mortar Repointing: Using historically accurate materials to allow the structure to breathe and prevent future decay. 
  • Leadwork Renewals: Ensuring the building is watertight through expert lead replacement, protecting the magnificent bronze doors and the world-renowned marble floors within. 

The Result

By combining heritage craft with rigorous standards, Go-Wright successfully preserved the iconic features of the Mausoleum, from the guardian lion sculptures to the stunning interior crypt. This project stands as a testament to our ability to deliver high-stakes conservation works for local authorities and heritage bodies across Scotland.
