| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Westminster Abbey |
 | | The revenues of the abbey at the time of the dissolution amounted to £3471 (equivalent to about £35,000 or $154,000 at the present day), but though shorn of so many of its ancient possessions, the Chapter of Westminster is still a very wealthy collegiate body. |
