This follows a competitive auction process conducted by the Bank of England, in accordance with the Code of Practice issued by HM Treasury under the Banking Act 2009. The Business had previously been transferred from Dunfermline Building Society ('Dunfermline') to DBS Bridge Bank Limited while a permanent home for the Business was sought. The transfer of the Business to the bridge bank took place on 30 March 2009 at the same time as the sale of certain core parts of Dunfermline to Nationwide Building Society. Dunfermline was then placed into the Building Society Special Administration Procedure. It is business as usual for the Business's customers. They can contact the Business in the usual way and should continue to make repayments as normal. Customers of other parts of the former Dunfermline Building Society's businesses now owned by Nationwide, or operated out of the Building Society Special Administration Procedure, are unaffected. The decision to select Nationwide Building Society as the preferred bidder followed advice from the Bank of England's Financial Stability Committee and consultation with the FSA and HM Treasury in accordance with the Banking Act 2009.

  • In Search of Dunfermline Abbey's Lost Medieval Choir
    History Scotland (Sep/Oct 2020) 20.5, pp. 20-26 Part 1: In Search of Dunfermline Abbey’s lost medieval choir: history, liturgy and ground-penetrating radar. Michael Penman The many visitors to Dunfermline Abbey and Palace in Fife typically encounter a church of two halves. To the west stands the medieval nave and, until 1821, parish church. Stripped of its post-Reformation pews and lofts and re-presented as a stunning Romanesque-Gothic stone shell, it still coveys much of the misty spirituality of its Benedictine monastery dedicated to the Holy Trinity. Its elegant columns speak to its former scale and status and its strong links with Benedictine Durham Cathedral Priory through the 11th and 12th centuries. Fig 1: Dunfermline Abbey’s buttressed medieval nave (west) and modern Abbey Church (east) [© Robert Cutts, CC BY 2.0] However, of the later medieval monastic choir to the east (and the cloisters) little remains. The great east-end of this church was left ruinous by the iconoclasm of the Reformation. Like its nave, it had been home to successive royal and aristocratic burials and the cult of the queen of Malcolm III, St Margaret (d.1093), canonised in 1249. Long used after the Reformation as a romantic burial ground by local townspeople, known as the ‘Psalter’ churchyard, the choir ruins were eventually cleared and overbuilt c.1817-21 to make way for a new Presbyterian ‘Abbey Church’ of Dunfermline parish, conjoined to the nave. Fig 2: The fossiliferous marble base of St Margaret’s feretory shrine within her east-end chapel, outside the Abbey Church vestry [Author’s photograph].
