		Adrian Clark, administrative director of the Tourism Society, said that by imposing admission charges, the medieval abbey had acted to avoid the "downside of tourism", which was erosion of the building through wear and tear.
		The Abbey authorities themselves insist that the medieval building is not threatened by weight of numbers despite receiving at least 1.75 million tourists a year.
		Canon David Hutt, the Sub-dean of Westminster, who is responsible for the Abbey’s maintenance, said the main purpose of charging for entry was to recover the spirituality of the building.

	Briefing
		One of the last cathedral chapters to be formed on the Sarum pattern, in the years of Reformation uncertainty, was the first Westminster Cathedral as Westminster Abbey became on 17 December 1540 and was to remain until 24 September 1556 when the secular chapter was dissolved under Mary Tudor and the monks restored.
		Cardinal Vaughan, who was very liturgically minded, invited the Downside monks to London and a plan was hatched for a community of Benedictines resident at Ealing to commute to Westminster to sing the office in Gregorian Chant.
		The secular chapter was not best pleased nor were the reformers at Downside, who at the very time of this scheme were attempting to make their monastery an ideal monastery; ‘commuting’ was not seen as a monastic charism especially given the Benedictine vow of stability.

	LETTERS: Chant is a continuing tradition Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		The plainchant that is sung by the monks of Silos, or by ourselves here in Downside Abbey every day (and in many other monastic houses), is entirely the consequence of the Solesmes revival - the "tradition" had effectively been lost.
		It was by a painstaking comparison of the line-notated manuscripts of the 12th-14th centuries with the neumatic manuscripts of the 9th-11th centuries that we have, only within the last 100 years, a practical and satisfying performance version, albeit one open to intense scholarly controversy, especially in regard to rhythmic structure.
		That buying records will "restore an obsolete art form to the living liturgy of the Church" is not only fanciful but unnecessary: a visit to Downside Abbey will find this art form prayerfully alive as part of our living, and post-Conciliar liturgy.
