Sri Lanka used to be Ceylon – an outpost beyond India, a place of rest for the weary traveler from the West.
Here, they planted coffee and when the coffee blight hit, tea. They were pioneer planters who paved the way for Sri Lanka’s dynamic tea industry.
They were also civil servants, public officials and businessmen who settled in the island they called home away from home.
From Nuwara Eliya’s hills – known as little England – to the colonial bastions of Forts dotted across the island’s shores, the colonial influence on Sri Lanka can still be glimpsed – amidst the buildings, the food, the customs and the legacy they left behind.
From cucumber sandwiches on the lawn of every tea estate bungalow to the grand old hotels, they lived in Ceylon which they loved. And most of them chose to be buried in the island’s church grave yards ; the stories of the men and women from beyond the seas, who lived here and experienced its beauty and hospitality first hand.
