Talk:Woburn Abbey

message: I was going to ask why the article says:
:"In the early 1990s, Woburn Abbey was owned by the Tussauds Group and with the help of John Wardley (creator of roller coasters such as Nemesis and Oblivion) set to build a large park. However, Tussauds bought Alton Towers instead and that is now the UK's most visited theme park attraction."
as I did not understand who owned Woburn Abbey and who set to build a park. The family? Tussauds? (It actually reads like it's the Abbey.) I see that an anonymous person has asked the same question. —Grstain | Talk 17:00, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed the wholly spurious idea that the Center Parcs which is named "Woburn Forest" is on the grounds of the Abbey. It is in fact several miles away on Millbrook Warren, near Flitwick, and uses the Woburn name as a marketing exercise.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.148.83 (talk) 06:35, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

message: The collection is described as "amongst the finest in private hands" without qualification and despite the accumulation of large private collections around the world since the Dukes of Bedford stopped collecting. No reference is given to support this breach of WP:PEACOCK. Likewise, "collection encompasses examples of the most expensive manufacturers of furniture" is unreferenced peacockery and seems quite unrealistic. The paragraphe ends with one referenceWoburn Abbey – Grade I –  which is the Heritage England listing as Grade 1 in heritage category Park and Garden, but this makes no reference to the collection at all. 80.41.130.95 (talk) 18:41, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

message: There's nothing here about the 11th Duke and Duchess; they built a hospital, which was used during WW1. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please  me in replies) 11:42, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
