Sir Thomas Maitland was assigned to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) as the British Governor during the period of 1805-1811. Governor Maitland was a 46 year old bachelor who decided to construct his country residence on a breathtaking beachfront property at "Galkissa" (Mount Lavinia). He was also known as "King Tom" and described in a biography as a great human force, controlled by an iron will". The governor's palace, Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka During this time, Maitland fell in love with a native gypsy dancer named Lavinia (Lovinia) Aponsuwa who was an extraordinarily beautiful mestizo girl of mixed Portuguese and Sinhala Rodi ancestry. He saw the local mestizo dancer Lovina for the first time at the welcoming party held in his honor on his arrival in the island. Lovinia's father was the headman of the dance troupe. Sir Thomas was smitten by her smile and charms and soon found himself obsessed by her and took every measure possible to see more of her. Lavinia danced in her father's dance troupe and performed for the Governor and his guests. The Governor's parties were affairs of masked balls, top hats and flowing evening gowns. It is rumored that Maitland picked the scenic location on the beach-side hill about 10 km (6 miles) south of Colombo after spotting Lavinia bathing in the sea. During World War II, the hotel was used as a military hospital by the British Army. Following the war in 1947, the "Mount Lavinia Hotel" was re-established. Some scenes in the film The Bridge on the River Kwai were filmed at the hotel. A blue plaque commemorates Sir Thomas Maitland, Sir Robert Brownrigg, Sir Edward Paget and Sir Edward Barnes who resided at the house when it was the Governor's residence.
