- The_Abbey,_Aston_Abbotts abstract "The Abbey, Aston Abbotts is a small country house in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. The house derived its name from being a property of St. Albans Abbey in the Middle Ages, and it belonged to the Dormer family from the Dissolution of the Monasteries until the early 19th century. While in their ownership the house was almost continuously tenanted, and it was altered in a piecemeal way as a result. In the early 20th century it was a secondary seat of the Spencer family of Coles Hall. It was the family home for Capt Harold and Mrs Beatrice (née Shaw) Morton in 1923 and sold in 1989 after their deaths. It is now an L-shaped house with a plain, mildly neo-Classical, south front of c.1800, masking a medieval hall and dining-room, and Queen Anne drawing-room at W. end; the smaller west wing is Elizabethan. There has been a property at the location since before Doomsday. Although the Abbey has never been an ecclesiastical building, it was so named having been built on land confiscated from the Abbotts of St. Albans by Henry VIII. The property has had some illustrious owners including the Duke of Buckingham, Sir James Clark Ross, the polar explorer who gave his name to the Ross Shelf, and President Benes of Czechoslovakia.During the Second World War from 1940 to 1945 Dr Edvard Beneš, the exiled President of Czechoslovakia, stayed at The Abbey in Aston Abbotts. During this period the Morton family moved to the Chauffeurs Cottage. The two families became the best of friends, Major Morton being invested as a Commander in the Order of the White Lion (Order of the White Lion, third class), by the President in recognition.In the gardens of the Abbey there is a lake with two islands, named after the ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.".
