St Benets Abbey sold to Trust

St Benets Abbey, Norfolk has been sold for a nominal sum to Norfolk Archaelogical Trust who recently bought the surrounding 36 acres of land off the Crown Estate for £55,000. The sale, by the diocese of the gatehouse and windmill means that the entire site is now in single ownership, which should allow for better management of the site as a whole. Work planned includes a scheme to combat riverbank erosion.
