On the 20th July, 1819, Sir George visits the Leigh Park Estate for the first time.
"I must tell you that I found that this is the same Estate which was sold 2 years ago to Mr Angerstein and returned upon the Owner’s hands on account of the supposed defect of the dry rot. You see, however, that the owner is able to give every proof to the contrary, and I am therefore not sorry such an imputation should exist, as one may hope that the Estate will be sold the cheaper on that account."
A Letter from Sir George Thomas Staunton to his mother, Lady Staunton.
