As far as I've been able to research; it is not a real location.

Correct, it is not a real location. However, it could be based on Lord Mansfield, an MP known for hating slavery. Because the book deals with Sir Thomas being away on slave business on Anitgua, it could be making an ironical pun. Bath, London, and Portsmouth are all reall places.
