The sad news reached us yesterday of the death of Abbot Timothy Wright OSB, aged 76. Abbot Timothy was full time Spiritual Director at the Beda for seven years up to 2013. Although his health had not been good recently, his death was not expected. Abbot Timothy is remembered with great affection by the staff who worked with him here and by the many students who he guided and supported during their time in the College. His Requiem took place at Ampleforth Abbey on 30th May. May he Rest in Peace.
