In 1882 the site was purchased by a group of French Benedictine monks, who refounded a monastery on the site, dedicated to Saint Mary. New monastic buildings and a temporary church were constructed incorporating the existing Gothic house. Work on a new abbey church, which was constructed mostly on the footprint of the former Cistercian abbey, started in 1907. The church was consecrated in 1932 but not completed until 1938.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Abbey
The amazing thing is that the Abbey was built over this period by the monks themselves.
The web site for the abbey can be found at :- http://www.buckfast.org.uk/
The Abbey is a real tranquil place to be and the Abbey and gardens are wonderful.
