John Erle-Drax
John Samuel Wanley Sawbridge Erle-Drax (6 October 1800 – 5 January 1887) was a British Member of Parliament (MP) during the Victorian era.
==Personal life==
Born John Sawbridge, he was the son of Samuel Elias Sawbridge, of Olantigh, and grandson of John Sawbridge, Lord Mayor of London in 1775.〔Burke, p. 211〕 John married Jane Frances Erle-Drax-Grosvenor, daughter of Richard Erle-Drax-Grosvenor, in 1827. On 13 August 1828, his wife's brother Richard Erle-Drax-Grosvenor died unmarried, and he succeeded to her family estates, including Charborough House, assuming the surname of Erle-Drax.〔Burke, pp. 207–209〕
He was a captain in the East Kent Militia, and raised a troop of the Dorsetshire Yeomanry in 1830 to deal with the ''Disturbances'' or Swing Riots of that year;〔Burke, p. 207〕 he held the patronage of five church livings, and was a deputy-lieutenant of Dorset in the late 1850s.〔Richardson, p. 47〕
Erle-Drax built his mausoleum, located beside Holnest church in the Blackmore Vale, fifteen years before his death. He included in the Byzantine-style design a letter box, through which he arranged to have ''The Times'' delivered daily. He died on 5 January 1887, at which time the date was added to the epitaph. The mausoleum was demolished in 1935 and replaced by a flat memorial stone.〔
