Christopher Codrington

Christopher Codrington was an English plantation owner in the 17th and 18th centuries, best known for his role in the leasing of Barbuda. He inherited the lease of the island in 1710, which had been previously granted to his family in 1685. His management and that of his descendants significantly impacted the development of Barbuda, transforming it into a valuable agricultural and livestock-producing estate within the Codrington family's holdings.
