Spurious claims
Almost every source for this page is spurious at best. The concept of a calendar house appears to have no basis in serious historical research. Most of the pre-19th century examples are demonstrably not calendar houses with the only literature supporting them being family legends repeated in magazines and newspapers. There appear to be only a few true calendar houses almost entirely in the last 200 years. The concept seems so barely supported it almost doesn't seem worth the article at all. When you google calendar house you get the questionable Country Life article which appears to have popularised the idea in recent years and then references to Knole - demonstrated time and again to be anything but a calendar house. This being the case I'm going to pare this article right back and remove all the myths if no one has any objections here. Riled Ignatius (talk) 19:35, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
