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


 *  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)
