The mysterious Courtoy Mausoleum, a twenty foot tall trapezoid of dark polished granite with a pyramidal rood and a huge copper door, stands as the largest monument in Brompton Cemetery. Since its construction in 1854, the mausoleum has fostered a legend that it secretly houses a time machine, a Victorian news story that inspired HG Wells to write his novella, “The Time Machine”. Built as the final resting place of the 19th century barmaid turned heiress Hannah Courtoy and her two daughters, the monument was designed by the eccentric Victorian inventor Samuel Warner with the Egyptologist and sculptor Joseph Bonomi. Its legend as a time machine was borne out of the mysterious inscriptions based on Egyptian hieroglyphics and some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s more obscure sketches that cover its exterior walls. These allegedly contain the secret of time travel. Indeed Samuel Warner was murdered in mysterious circumstances and shortly after the key to the mausoleum's great bronze door went missing. Stephen Coates has resurrected this story and brought it to the attention of the international press. In his talk he will expand on on the myth and another extraordinary recent development in the story of this most unique of monuments.
Tickets £12 including a Hendrick's Gin cocktail.
