Charles Senior, the present owner, lived in the abbey for the last year after purchasing it from the Dow- ager Duchess, the Marchioness of Coonyngham, said today that he would like to spend the rest of his life there, but that his wife found the abbey too quiet after town life. The abbey dates from 740 and during the existenc of nearly 1,200 years has never been unoccupied, Mr. Senior bought it bcause he was interested in old buildings. It had been in the Coonyngham family for 300 years and before that Benedic- tine monks had had it for 500, Benedictine nuns for 270, and it was Crown property for 100 years. Mr, Senior said he hoped the Ab- bey would be bought on behalf of the government or the Roman Catholics, who have a strong claim to it.
