Mawson was born in Nether Wyresdale, Lancashire, England, and left school at age 12. His father, who died in 1877, was a warper in a cotton mill and later started a building business. He married Anna Prentice in 1884 and the Mawsons made their family home in Windermere, Westmorland in 1885. Mawson designed gardens in various parts of Britain, and in Europe and Canada.
