Downing Hall
edit- ... that Downing Hall was once the home of naturalist Thomas Pennant, who described it as being "incapable of being improved into a magnitude exceeding the revenue of the family"?

The major problem is that the first ref (and most used) for the structural elements is a dead link. Is there a cached version or a way to get to the page? Length/date are fine. PD and copyrighted sources are appropriately paraphrased or put in quotes. Added source for the motto over the door. Hook source checks out. Will AGF on dead source if the site is no longer available (I found the pictures. Is it just a description based on them?) Froggerlaura (talk) 05:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- I am in a bit of a loss as to what to say. The link worked when I was researching the subject but it does not seem to today. It was not a major source and I could rewrite the bits involved. It had 3 photographs and some associated text. For example, other sites said the house was built in the early seventeenth century while this source stated specifically it was 1627.

Ref is back up for some reason. Article is good to go. Froggerlaura (talk) 00:44, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
