It is over 20 years since I researched the history of the Abbey for the City Museum, but as I recall it Sir Richard Grenville did NOT sell the house to Sir Francis Drake. It was very briefuly owned by a third party in the meantime. Since Grenville and Drake were on bad terms it has long been theorised that Drake was purchasing through an intermediary as Grenville would have been unlikely to sell directly to him.

National Trust pilot[edit]

Hello! During late June, July and some of August, I'm working on a paid project sponsored by the National Trust to review and enhance coverage of NT sites. You can find the pilot edits here, as well as a statement and contact details for the National Trust. I am leaving this message when I make a first edit to a page; please do get in touch if you have any concerns. Lajmmoore (talk) 15:47, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
