Talk:East Claydon

Removed from the article:


 * Primarily owned by the Warren family, it was largely rebuilt in order to house the servants of Claydon House, owned by Matthew Warren and wife Francesca in 1842.

It is claimed that this is nonsense, and will require a good reference before going back into the article. Thank you. -- Fr a ncs2000 17:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

^ Patently untrue. Definitely keep it out!

Church
"The parish church dedicated to St Mary was completely demolished during the English Civil War by Cornelius Holland, one of King Charles's judges, but was rebuilt. The current structure is largely of 18th century design."

I find this doubtful. Sure you're not thinking of St. Michael's at Steeple Claydon? St. Mary's still has a sun dial...

Ok yeah having just looked it up in The official church booklet (I live in EC) by villagers who researched it with Sir. Ralph Verney - pretty reliable source I think - and it's completely inaccurate to say "Completely demolished" - anyone who's seen it can plainly see that it is not 18th century. Much of it is 13th century, and there are various bits from various centuries. The Church Organ was once played by Handel.

Because I'm from EC I'm going to take that bit out until someone can back it up:

The parish church dedicated to St Mary was completely demolished during the English Civil War by Cornelius Holland, one of  King Charles's judges, but was rebuilt. The current structure is largely of 18th century design.

 * I have reinserted the claim with references, although I have removed the word "completely", as that would appear to be incorrect. ~ Scribble Monkey 09:30, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Mushroom Confusion
The thatched tree is not locally known as 'The Mushroom Tree'. This is a common confusion. People see that the club is called "The Mushroom Club" and erroneously think it references the tree. However, it's the bell of the clocktower from which the "mushroom" reference is derived. The thatched tree is known simply as "The thatched tree" (it's not likely to be confused with any other thatched tree!).
