Scope and Contents

This series includes letters, documents, manuscripts, and poems related to the Leigh family of Adlestrop and their extended family, friends, and business and political associates. There is a large group of letters from William Leigh (1691-1757) to his younger brother Theophilus Leigh (1693-1785), Master of Balliol College, Oxford; and a second large group of letters from Theophilus Leigh to his daughter Mary "Molly" Leigh Leigh (1731-1797).
