A quintessentially British name for a fine American machine.
Abbotsford was the home of the great Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott, and this Cheney would not look out of place in a Gothic Revival castle.

£60 what a bargain ,

That really is a great deal, I hope it isn't repurposed.

An impressive array of chimneys on Abbotsford. The taller the chimney, the stronger the pull; necessary to heat such a large edifice. There are Gothic Revival mansions along the Hudson in New York State.
