Reliability Tier3
Tier 3: Westminster Abbey's own official website, read directly on 14 August 2026, an unaudited institutional self-description carrying no visible publication date or byline, absences named here rather than left silent. The page states it costs over 24 million pounds a year to run the Abbey and that it receives no funding from the Church, the Crown or the Government, relying instead on tourism income, but gives no total income figure or itemized financial statement. As a Royal Peculiar the Abbey is not registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales the way Canterbury Cathedral is, so no independently filed audited account for it could be located in a form this pass could read.
