Talk:Cassiobury House

Demolished
Why was the house demolished? Jason404 (talk) 03:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently a collapse in agricultural income, taxation and the aftermath of World War I caused many landowners to go bankrupt. The articles on the British country house contents auctions and the destruction of country houses in 20th-century Britain explore this topic. Preservation of historic properties is a relatively modern priority - in the early 20th century there was less concern about demolishing old mansions to make way for housing estates, bypasses etc. 11:38, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

1st Earl of Essex death
The recent addition of text about the death of the 1st Earl of Essex and Lawrence Braddon is all very interesting, but it really belongs in the article about Arthur Capell, 1st Earl of Essex. It is biographical detail and is not really about Cassiobury House or Park. I think a sentence summarising his death is fine, but lengthy quotes from sources that have nothing to do with Cassiobury House. I am happy to move this over.

Inline Citation
So if anybody would like to make any suggestions as to how inline citation could be improved on this article, I'd be interested. As far as I can tell, the article is pretty well referenced with 54 inline references, so I'd like to know specifically where it is lacking. Cnbrb (talk) 11:06, 14 June 2017 (UTC)


 * I apologize for taking so long to reply because I didn't put this page on my watchlist. In-line citation means that, at the very least, each and every paragraph ends with a citation verifying the information within. I can't really adequately describe it, so I would advise checking out Featured or Good Articles and looking at their citation. Bodiam Castle, for example. For everything taken from a source, there exists a citation for it. – Vami _IV✠  15:54, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
