Date of completion[edit]

The text and the info box are quite clear that date of completion was 1838. I do not have a copy of that volume of Bradney to check, but the article also says "on 12 September 1838, the house was destroyed by fire." Was such a large project as this really undertaken and completed in less than four months? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:33, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start this within 72 hours.

Initial thoughts... Well, its obviously not a quick fail, no tags, copyvios, etc. "reported to have lived here at one time"? By whom? Is there a reference for this? All the other references seem reliable, although ref 4, on page 672 does not mention the words "Hilston Park", according to Google books, though I am willing to AGF that it is a different edition. Prose is readable, GA standard but not nearly FA. Any ref for it becoming a school? Also, could you find some images of the grounds et. al, and also, definitely need a citation for the fact it is an SSSI, mentioned twice with no reference.

Ref added for SSSI. Lead doesn't have to be cited, so only once.. The fire in ref 4 is mentioned here.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:39, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks. I'll have a look on commons for some images.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 14:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There aren't any, I looked of course.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As did I. I'll formally evaluate the criteria tomorrow.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 21:02, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One quick point I forgot to say, why is it a SSSI, and since when, etc?--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 14:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ooo just found more info on the CADW page. It mentions the reason and the review was done in 1990 so presumably this is the date. Actually can you review this later this evening I've found info on the grounds which could improve this in the meantime.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:26, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

...Okay, probably. Just give me a ping.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 14:31, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
