Talk:Edge Hill, Warwickshire

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Widefox in topic Wrong name/place

I, in earnest, would like a panoramic of the most feasible place for Charles I to place his art/archers. :-}

The Roundhead link gives no relevant information. The Parliament of England link is not perfect but it does give an idea of what that party represented: its thinking and its background.

Wrong name/place

edit

According to the Ordnance Survey gazateer, Edge Hill, Warwickshire is just south of Tamworth at the other end of the county to the place being described here; and the coordinates and topography listed here seem to relate to the place it calls Edgehill, Warwickshire.

Do we have any other sources to counter this, or should we think of moving this article (with explanatory text, of course)?. -- Chris j wood 16:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Bartholomew Gazetteer of Britain. 1st edn. (1977) ISBN 0-85152-771X has the Edge Hill near Radway as two words. There is another one in Merseyside but that too is a two-word name.
The Tamworth one is not listed in that book. It does appear (as two words) on the OS 1" 7th Series sheet 131 (1953), at grid ref SP240986. (RJP 21:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC))Reply

My OS 1:50,000 sheet 151, 2001 revision, uses two words for the hill and one word for the hamlet. The hill is bigger than the hamlet, and for most people it and its history are of far greater importance. May I please suggest that we leave the title of this article as two words?

I believe that Edge Hill Tower is actually in Radway Civic Parish..This is the reason that Radway does not have a Public House, has 1 already exsists in the Parish — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.213.46 (talk) 09:37, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Agree that the hamlet is a single word, as shown by Google streetview. Fixed in the article. Both variants are used liberally in sources confusing the issue. Widefox; talk 01:43, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Accepting that some people believe this stuff, it still needs a credible citation. Otherwise it is just someone making it up for a laugh. Good lcuk with the credible citation! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you actually looked at the end of the article, I cited a reference. (82.28.237.200 (talk) 23:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC))Reply
I reverted your change before reading this comment. I still think that there needs to be clarification in the section as the reference does not answer the who query. Also probably adding the reference to the previous paragraph may also help as the one who tagged it had problems with that text. Keith D (talk) 23:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
