Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland from 1766 to 1767. He never visited Ireland during this period but used his influence to obtain the Bishopric of Cloyne for his brother, Frederick Augustus (1730-1803). Frederick then went on to obtain the rich bishopric of Derry and eventually became Earl of Bristol as well, becoming one of the richest men in the kingdom. He built a magnificent house (now in ruins) at Downhill and, on the grounds, constructed this mausoleum in memory of the brother who gave him a start in life. The view is from a window of the house.
