Baron Leigh

Sir Edward Chandos Leigh, second son of the first Baron, was a cricketer and barrister.

[3] Gilbert Leigh, eldest son and heir of the second Baron, who sat as Member of Parliament for Warwickshire South predeceased his father.

In 1960, a serious fire broke out at Stoneleigh Abbey and caused considerable damage to the fabric of the house.

Some time thereafter the 4th Baron Leigh (1908-1979) transferred the ownership of Stoneleigh Abbey to a charitable trust.

The current family seat of the Barons Leigh is the Adlestrop Park Estate, near Moreton-in-Marsh, in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds.
