Summary
[edit]DescriptionGordon Mausoleum - geograph.org.uk - 851640.jpg |
English: Gordon Mausoleum This tomb in the form of an open temple with 12 Ionic columns dates from about 1825. It contains the grave of Jean Christie, second wife of Alexander, 4th Duke of Gordon, who died on 27 August 1824. "Long before the decease of the Lady Jane Maxwell, the 4th Duchess, the lecherous eyes of her husband, Duke Alexander, were set on Jean Christie, whose face and figure fascinated him. She was of humble descent, and resided in Fochabers, where he regularly visited her, and even aired her in his carriage. She bore nine children to his Grace, to whom, 'after proclamation on three separate Sabbaths' she was married on the 30th day of July 1820 by the Rev William Rennie. minister of the parish of Bellie. Excepting this escapade, Jean Christie's charities and multifarious good works to the people about the place were most praiseworthy. She was buried at Bellie Churchyard on the 2nd August 1824, aged 54, in a vault under a fine mausoleum supported by 12 pillars." [after Lachlan Shaw, 'The History of the Province of Moray, edited by J F S Gordon, 1882. Volume 1, page 58] |
