Hi Girth Summit, review follows: article created 14 July, article exceeds minimum length, article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources (the b&b site is only used to ref the fact that it is a b&b); I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from Historic England, AGF from Pevsner; QPQ has been carried out; just one reservation with the hook, the article and Historic England both only say the tower was "probably" 14th century, how do you feel about switching it in the hook for "medieval"? - Dumelow (talk) 19:19, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- Dumelow thanks for the review. I checked Pevsner again, and it makes the same qualification ('...1326... ...a likely time for the addition of a defensive tower wing...'), so I've proposed ALT1 as you suggest, with the addition of 16th century for the construction of the manor house, since that seems more certain (there's a dated inscription).
