Talk:Beeston Regis

Links Hotel in West Runton?
I added a tag to the following statement in the section 'Legend of Black Shuck': "Conan Doyle had been on a golfing Holiday at the nearby Links Hotel in West Runton, and it was in the sitting room of the hotel that his friend, Bertram Fletcher Robinson, recounted the legend of the Black Hound from the Bump." Other sources claim that it was the Royal Links Hotel in Cromer. WCCasey (talk) 04:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Priory
A large part of the section on the priory is also covered in the article on the priory. IMHO the following sections are superfluous and I have removed them:



.... in 1535 it had only a prior and four canons, who served as parish priests for nearby churches, six boys and seven servants. The boys were in effect the boarders at the canons' school, and their number was increased by day boys. The priory had 40 acre of land with rights to wrecks and flotsam and jetsam. Within the monastic precinct there were agricultural buildings and probably a smithy, a brewery, a guest-house, a wash-house, latrines and other buildings necessary for the running of the busy local community. The priory lasted until 1538 when King Henry VIII banned the Catholic religion and ordered the dissolution of the monasteries and priories. The ruins indicate that the church nave was about 75 ft long, having a chancel later added. Beeston Priory was independent, unlike many small houses of the Augustinian Order. A tunnel is said to run to the Dunstable Arms Inn from the ruins of the priory, but if it ever existed its whereabouts is a long-forgotten secret.
