Description
Excerpt from Surat, Broach, and Other Cities of Goojerat, Photographed by Lindley and Warren: With Brief Descriptive and Architectural Notes
The English Cemetery is one of the most curious and picturesque spots in Western India. The English Factors who endeavour ed to impress on the natives the value of their trade by marching in procession through the streets, and dining to the sound of trumpets, here strove to perpetuate the idea even in death by grand mausolea in imitation of the Mahometan nobility. In the centre of the view (plate 2) is that of Sir George Oxenolen, -who died in 1669. It is built over that of his brother Christopher, which it encases without putting out of view. Breton, Colt, Wyche, Hope, Price, and other Chiefs are interred hard by. Many of the epitaphs are remarkable for their quaintness.
