For 200 years between the 15th to the 17th centuries, Surat was the place to be. So great was the economic clout of this port, that the Mughals called it 'Bandar-e-Mubarak' or the 'Blessed Port'.

Surat’s great rise came after the Mughals took control of the port from the Sultans of Gujarat in 1573 CE and it became their largest port on the West coast. So great was its importance that The Encyclopedia of World Trade termed it ‘One of the major centers of world capitalism’ between the 16th and 18th centuries CE. The Portuguese had been trading in the port since the early 16th century CE, but soon their monopoly was challenged by other European powers. The British East India Company set up their factory here in 1612 CE and this was followed by the Dutch in 1617 CE. Later the French also opened their factory in 1664 CE. Each of these European trading companies jostled for power and exclusion of trade privileges to the others.
The English Cemetery stood outside the old, walled city of Surat. Around 19 tombs stand here. The most grand are the tombs of Oxenden brothers, Sir George Oxenden, the President of the English factory in Surat and his brother Christopher Oxenden. Sir George Oxenden is famous as the governor under whom Bombay came under the British rule. The Portuguese were reluctant to hand over the possession of the island and after much disputes, it was Oxenden who took the possession of the island. He was appointed the first Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Bombay in August 1667 CE. Oxenden died in Surat on 14th July 1669 CE. A grand and opulent tomb was built in his honour. The most interesting feature of the Oxenden tomb is the upper dome, which represents an open cross.

Another interesting tomb in the English cemetery is that of Gerald Aungier, the second governor of Bombay after Oxenden. He encouraged traders from Surat to migrate to Bombay, established the mint there and laid the foundation stone for St Thomas Church. Aungier passed away in 1677 CE and a grand tomb was built for him too.
