Okay, here we go. I'll jot queries below. Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

A 1663 will by Richard Harvey of Exeter established Almshouses known as Harvey's Hospital. - plural --> singular?

I think the plural almshouses is correct as they were individual dwellings for the poor/distressed, when combined into one "hospital" (different meaning to current hospital) they became a single institution. The ref from English Heritage says "Harvey's Hospital (Almshouses)", therefore I think the current construction is correct.

gorse, bracken or broom. - I'd link these.

Done

It is also part of the Yeovil county constituency .... - shouldn't start a paragraph with an 'It' - is 'Chard' due to go here?

Done

...and support study of palaeontology in Britain - I don't get this bit

I've changed this to "making it a key locality for the study of palaeontology in Britain" which comes directly from ref 22

Any indication of the geological age of the chalk beds?

I've added "which was laid down in the Middle Cenomanian era between 99.6 ± 0.9 MA and 93.5 ± 0.8 MA (million years ago)". Imprecise I know but wp doesn't have an article for the Turrilites acutus Zone which might define it more closely.

The town's public transport links to Taunton are now provided by First Somerset & Avon (bus route 30)[34] and Stagecoach Southwest (bus route 99). - some indication of frequency might be good. Are they hourly? weekly? Also serves to buff the single sentence para that doesn't neatly fit anywhere else.

I've added that both services are hourly during weekdays.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin dates... - be good to mention denomination

Anglican added

Otherwise looks pretty good to go..Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
