 Silence and secrecy at school where child sex abuse went on for decades | The Guardian | Guardian Unlimited
Cardinal Hume spent most of his life at Ampleforth, arriving as a pupil at the age of 10 and leaving only when appointed Archbishop of Westminster in 1976, at the age of 52.
After his election as abbot in 1963 he was responsible for running the school as well as the abbey, and police say they have established that by 1975 he was aware of the risk that at least one monk, Father Piers Grant-Ferris, posed to pupils.
Had he done so, police believe Ampleforth's boys may have been at far less risk of suffering the abuse that continued to be committed by a number of monks and lay staff over the next 20 years.
