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

~~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)[reply]
