The Tomb of Lord Cornwallis at Ghazipur.

Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis was a British military commander and a colonial era governor general. In the United States he is best remembered as a leading British officer in the American Revolutionary War. His 1781 defeat by a combined American-French troop is considered the end of hostilities in North America in that war. After the defeat he returned to Britain, and in 1786 he was appointed governor general and commander-in-chief in India. He instituted land reforms and reorganised the British East India Company. In 1792 he defeated Tipu Sultan and nearly captured his capital city Srirangapatna, paving way for British dominance in South India. He was given the title of Marquis in the same year and returned to Britain. His time in India did much to burnish his reputation.

He was reappointed governor general of India in 1805, but died on October 5 of the same year, soon after arrival, in the city of Ghazipur. In his memory the British built a large tomb in the city, using stones brought from England. The tomb located in the outer corner of the city near the old British cantonment is well maintained by the Ministry of Tourism. It is the major tourist attraction in the city.
