Adlestrop, Gloucestershire

Adlestrop was the home of James Leigh, who married Lady Caroline Brydges in 1753. Widowed Lady Caroline was guardian to Anna Eliza, the first Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos. Anna spent some time at Adlestrop (probably Adlestrop Park) prior to her marriage. 

Jane Austen, a distant relation of Anna Eliza, visited Adlestrop during this period but there is no evidence that the two women met.
