caption_attribution_description: English: Adlestrop House Adlestrop House is a large impressive Georgian House in a fine setting next to the parish church. The house used to be the Rectory. Jane Austin visited on three occasions in 1794,1799 and 1806 and stayed with her uncle who was the Church Rector.
context_page_description: Adlestrop is a village and civil parish in the valley of the River Evenlode in the Cotswolds about 3 miles east of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire, England. The parish is on the county boundary with Oxfordshire. The River Evenlode forms the southwest boundary of the parish. The village is on a stream that flows southwest to join the river.
  The A436 road, which links the A44 road in Oxfordshire with Stow-on-the-Wold, passes through the parish just south of the village. The Cotswold Line railway passes along the Evenlode valley southwest of the village and until 1966 had a station here.
  Since 1935 the parish of Adlestrop has included the village of Daylesford. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 120.
context_section_description: Adlestrop House was built in the 17th century as the Rectory. It was altered in the 18th century and extended in the 19th and 20th centuries.
  Thomas Leigh, a member of the manorial family, was Rector of Adlestrop from 1762 until his death in 1813. A cousin of his was the mother of the novelist Jane Austen, who visited the then rectory at least three times between 1794 and 1806. She is thought to have drawn inspiration from the village and its surroundings for her novel Mansfield Park.
