A home in the Buckinghamshire Countryside for the Oliviers
Larry fell in love with the place’s gothic history. On that first visit, Larry had placed the medieval key into the gothic oak door, his mind was made up. The lovers bought the abbey and brought the rooms back to life as they renovated it. With the help of Sibyl Colefax, the favorite decorator of the stars, royalty, and nobility at the time, Vivien furnished it with valuable pieces, an admirable mixture of brocade and comfort, antique and scholarly manuscripts and a modest wealth of fine paintings. {read more about the Oliviers Notley Abbey years}
Anne Edwards describes Notley Abbey in an article featured in Architectural Digest: “The house soon started to possess its occupants. It was a demanding place that seemed to insist that one put on evening dress before descending the staircase for dinner. . . ”
It had been founded during the reign of Henry II in the 12th century. Larry’s son Tarquin (by his 1st marriage) described the abbey, “the river Thame meandering in weedy shallows through the elm woods, the willowed fields. This place where Henry V once stayed, breathed heraldry. In the attic were priceless frescoes of the emblem of Notley embracing the hazel nut and the lover’s knot.”
