The Abbey (1995) — or The Abbey with Alan Bennett — is a three-part BBC TVdocumentary written and hosted by playwright Alan Bennett and directed by Jonathan Stedall. It is a personal tribute to, and tour of, Westminster Abbey.
This film is the video equivalent of an erudite tourist visit and is structured as “a day in the life” of the Abbey. Bennett's presentation has been criticized as at times painfully slow, wry, and effete, but it includes a wealth of amusing and informative anecdotes, citations, and historical fact.
Episodes
Programme One, A Royal Peculiar (56 minutes) offers a thorough tour of the Abbey. Bennett watches the early morning rituals of the "Abbey family," the people who tune the organ, dust the statues, deliver the milk, attend the first service of the day, and provides a general introduction to the layout and history of the place. Later, mingling with the public tours, he visits some of the multitude of graves in the Abbey, including those of Edward the Confessor, Chaucer, Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. He cites “the English liking for clubs" in the burial groupings, with architects in one corner, poets in another, and engineers in yet another. Westminster Abbey, as he observes, is "the Queen's Parish Church"—a "royal peculiar," answerable not to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Church of England, but directly to the British sovereign.
Founded in 2002, SBE is an American hospitality, real estate and entertainment company. Led by Chairman and CEO Sam Nazarian, the company owns hotels, restaurants, nightlife and real estate groups. SBE's partners include designer Philippe Starck, photographer Matthew Rolston, and chefs José Andrés, Katsuya Uechi and Danny Elmaleh.

An ancient abbey on the field Like a rock against the night It will also be your shield A room a glow by candlelight Filled with the smell of peat Men were sitting side by side I can hear the preacher say Your time will fly away But eternity Will remain forever Time to regret your sins The brothers all live in peace Do their labor every day Here they all feel at ease This place could be everywhere As well inside your home
