    Y’all owe to yourself to read the extended copy

    In 1923, the 7th Earl of Abingdon sold the Abbey to Raymond ffennell, who made further but comparatively modest alterations – these included the addition of the loggia at the south end, and a small extension to the rear of the butler’s house.

    It’s like a parody of a certain English novel but real.
