Lavington

Baron Lavington, a british politician called Ralph Payne, was among others things the Governor of the Leeward islands, while his father was Chief Justice of St Kitts. The name of his peerage was fleshed from their home area of Lavington in Wiltshire, England. There is Lavington in New South Wales, Australia, in British Columbia, Canada and Lincolshire, England. Before its current name, the area was known as St Austin’s Mission and was once surrounded by coffee plantations. It has been a low density, high income leafy suburb however, gated communities and apartments in the periphery areas like Thompson and Riverside are quickly changing its outlook. Due to its heritage and proximity to the CBD and Westlands, it remains one of the more expensive places to rent or buy property from. The development needs of the city are quickly outweighing the need to maintain the current building code.
