Drax Hall Estate

Drax Hall Estate is a sugarcane plantation situated in Saint George, Barbados, in the Caribbean.

Drax Hall still stands on the site where sugarcane was first cultivated on Barbados and is one of the island's two remaining Jacobean houses.

The Drax's Caribbean slave plantations and estates then descended with that of Charborough House in Dorset.

[4] Historian Hilary Beckles estimated that close to 30,000 enslaved African men, women and children died on the Drax Caribbean plantations over 200 years.

[6] The estate continues as a sugar plantation but Drax Hall is closed to the public, although its grounds spanning much of the eastern landscape of the parish of Saint George are open to visitors.
