Adlestrop Park, located in Adlestrop, Gloucestershire, is a historic estate featuring a country house and gardens that have evolved over several centuries. The estate is recognized for its architectural and landscape significance, with both the house and gardens listed on the National Heritage List for England. Adlestrop Park House has undergone various transformations since its original construction. In the mid-17th century, William Leigh is believed to have converted a barn into a residence. Subsequent modifications include: the late 17th to early 18th century, when Theophilus Leigh created the symmetrical northwest entrance facade; 1750-1763, when architect Sanderson Miller added a two-story block and later expanded the southwest façade in the Gothick style; and 1796-1799, when James Henry Leigh further extended the house. The house is listed as Grade II* for its architectural significance. The gardens and parkland surrounding Adlestrop Park have been shaped by notable landscape designers: between 1759-1763, Samuel Driver laid out the initial gardens; and between 1799-1812, Humphry Repton, a prominent landscape gardener, redesigned and enlarged the grounds, replacing Driver's earlier designs. The estate features integrated pleasure grounds and a landscape park, with the church situated between Adlestrop Park and the former rectory, now known as Adlestrop House. This arrangement offers long views over the gardens and parkland. The gardens and parkland of Adlestrop Park are registered under the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953 within the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens by Historic England for their special historic interest.
