Codrington Plantations : ウィキペディア英語版 | Codrington Plantations
The Codrington Plantations were two historic sugarcane producing estates on the island of Barbados, established in the 17th Century by the ancestors of Christopher Codrington. Sharing the characteristics of many plantations of the period in their reliance on slave labour, their particular significance was as a part of a charitable bequest on the death of Codrington in 1710 to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). The history of the plantations illustrates both the 18th Century Church of England's dependence on financial support for Christian mission work in the West Indies from local landowners, and, until the growth of the Abolitionism, an institutional unwillingness to address issues relating to slavery. ==Location== The two estates named Codrington’s and Consett’s were located in the parish of St. John on the eastern side of Barbados and covered of sugarcane planting. Codrington’s will, first drawn up in 1702, also notes three windmills with associated sugar manufacturing facilities on the land, 315 indentured slaves and 100 head of cattle.
