Randles Hill : ウィキペディア英語版 | Randles Hill
Randles Hill is a hill located in the suburb of Mulgampola in Kandy, Sri Lanka. ==History== Randles Hill received its name when Sir John Scurrah Randles (1875 - 1945) generously donated the money (Rs. 50,000) through the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society to purchase a significant land parcel, for the relocation and construction of Kingswood College. Randles was a prominent Methodist, English parlimentarian and philanthropist. Randles's significant gift came as a result of a visit to the district by Rev. William Goudie (1857 - 1922) and Mr Robert Simpson, a prominent member of the laymen's missionary movement, who on return to England convinced Randles of the benefit of such a contribution. Randles subsequently donated a further Rs. 180,626 to the construction of the college buildings.〔 The area was named as Randles Hill by the founder of Kingswood College, Mr L. E. Blaze.
