Small modification
I have slightly changed the wording of some of the opening lines as a casual reading of it seems to suggest that the estate was always a part of the Crown estate, when in fact it was not owned by them until the twentieth century. I don't think that this is an unreasonable edit, it merely better clarifies the situation. Original text: "The area was formally part of the Crown Estate, owned by but not private property of the Monarch." My change: "The area was in recent times part of the Crown estate."

I think the succeeding sentence should also be changed, but I am very wary of making edits to wikipedia entries as some editors can be very hostile to changes, though I have no reason to think that previous editors of this page would behave in this manner. Thank you. John2o2o2o (talk) 10:48, 2 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Change away - it was only recently added, and reads like it is suggesting that Gopsall was excluded from Shackerstone Estate 'for the sake of clarity', which I suspect was not really the reason. That being said, it would be useful if there was a reference to a reliable source for any of this. Agricolae (talk) 17:16, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
