What did Jane Austen's mother's father do for a living?

Jane Austen's mother, Cassandra Leigh Austen, was born to Thomas and Jane Leigh. Thomas Leigh was a country parson, and Cassandra grew up in the village of Harpsden, near Henley-on-Thames, where her father had a parish.

The theme of the country parson was common in Jane Austen's work. Her own father was also a member of the clergy, and ran country parishes at Steventon, Hampshire. Most of her novels had such people in them as important characters, some well regarded and others not.
