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.

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

The only source I could find on the costume group was on a website about visual impairment awareness, which doesn't seem great for an article about a historic site. I can't find any official confirmation (e.g. on the NT website) that there even is an NT costume group, let alone that they're based at Buckland. There's the odd mention in local news and on other wiki sites (which mostly seem to quote Wikipedia verbatim) but most of the stuff the NT is advertising seems to be very much aimed at children. Either a better source needs finding, the section needs clarifying to make it obvious that it is a children's thing, or the section needs deleting. DougieMcC (talk) 16:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The costume photo seems to have been added in 2006, so the group did exist once, but I can't find proof that it still does. Also if they do still exist they should have finished Lady Drake's dress by now. DougieMcC (talk) 16:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
