Excerpt from History of St. Mary's Abbey of Buckfast: In the County of Devon 760-1906
Their love for our county will make them readily understand that the writer could not but delight in a tale of Fair Devon. He could never see from the railway the towers of Exeter Cathedral without emotions of pleasure and affection at the thought that in that dear old city his mother was born.
One hundred years ago, in 1806, the walls of our Abbey Church, which for two hundred and sixty-seven years had been left to ruin and decay, were finally levelled, the materials sold or employed in building a mansion on the site of the former guest-house, and every trace of the sacred edifice effaced. Nothing was left when the monks took possession of the Abbey in 1882 to tell them that under the turf of the meadow that adjoined the mansion at its north east corner, they would find the buried foundations of St Mary's Abbey Church.
