Overview
Sir [Christopher Codrington] also left his mark on Gloucestershire, where his name was used to create the Codrington community. It is there that the Dean and Chapter House is for sale for pounds1.75 million. Today, almost 100 of these picturesque stone towers remain, although they now serve as houses, bars, restaurants and shops. At Betty's Hope, Codrington's original sugar estate, visitors can see a fully-restored sugar mill. Sir Christopher, who became first Governor of the Leeward Islands was granted (with his brother John) leases to land on this near neighbour of Antigua. They became the island's pre-eminent family, and for much of the 18th century the Codrington land on Barbuda was used to produce food and to supply additional slave labour for the Codrington sugar plantations on neighbouring Antigua.
