| description | While William Beckford was arranging with James Christie the sale of the contents of Fonthill Abbey, he was already in secret negotiations to sell the entire estate, the Abbey and most of its contents to John Farquhar. Thousands of catalogues were printed by Christie’s, for sale at a guinea each; hundreds of people visited the Abbey every day through August and September 1822, but suddenly, on 5 October Beckford cancelled the sale. Farquhar had agreed to pay him £300,000 for the whole of the estate, the Abbey and its contents.²
