Wrecked
I don't exactly know why but "wrecked" doesn't quite work for me in the context of a castle. Maybe it's too informal or maybe it's just not what I am expecting to hear of a stone building as opposed to, say, a vehicle. Anyway, I am going to try changing it and, of course, if you don't like what I've done, revert away and let's discuss it! Best wishes to all, DBaK (talk) 08:09, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I found and added a source that explicitly states the castle was "badly damaged" and subsequently allowed to fall into disrepair, and edited the article to reflect this. FactotEm (talk) 09:48, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Perfect, thanks very much. DBaK (talk) 15:43, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Current status
In the Current Status section, is there any more detail or clarity could be added, please? I suppose what I am thinking in one sense is "if it's in bad condition, who is that down to and what are they doing about it"? I don't feel quite clear on the three listed ownerships - do they between them account for the entire site and if so how; what is in such bad condition and who owns it; we say the bridge commission owned one chunk for many years but we don't say whether they still do; and so on. I don't feel as if I could stand there and point to a bit (unless it was the wedding barn or Jules's house!) and say "that's the bit in peril and it is owned by X" with much certainty. Finally, is any of the site visitable? Maybe we could make this clear, in case, like me, others are thinking they'd like to go and look at it!

Great article, congratulations on all the hard work, and I hope these comments might help a little. Cheers, DBaK (talk) 08:19, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
