Abstract
Dodington Park, Avon was built by Christopher Bethel Codrington, a descendant of the famous Christopher Codrington, founder of the library at All Souls, Oxford and of the college for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Barbados. The estate had been acquired by the Codrington family at the end of the sixteenth century, with its large gabled Elizabethan house and adjoining church. A branch of the family emigrated to the West Indies and there built up an extensive holding of sugar plantations, the income from which was used in 1796 to commission a new house by the fashionable architect James Wyatt.
