Talk:Hestercombe House

Comments
I think there is an chronological problem in the gardens section, it is stated "The gardens were laid out by Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens for Coplestone Warre Bamfylde" -  as Coplestone Warre Bamfylde, died 1791, I don't see how Lutyens and Jeckyl could have designed the gardend for him.

 * This si taken from the English Heritage listing of the gardens at Images of England entry for Garden walls, paving and steps on the South front of Hestercombe House, but I will reword to overcome this.&mdash; Rod talk 17:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * the layout in 1904-06 was for the Hon EWB Portman. &mdash; Rod talk 20:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I remember that the planted plat at Hestercombe— in the form of a square with a saltire criss-cross, I remember— was replanted in the 1970s (?) according to a surviving Gertrude Jekyll planting plan— by the Somerset Volunteer Fire Brigade!— a memorable and enviable mark of the general level of culture in the UK, I thought as an American. I was introduced there to Bergenia, which a gardener of Miss Jekyll's generation, perhaps Elwes, dubbed "pigsqueak". --Wetman 07:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Failed GA
This article has failed its GA because of criteria two, references. I feel that this article needs way more references on a lot of the statements, in all of the sections (including the intro). With the references included I think that this article will do nicely.  Dooms Day349  00:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

What else is needed to get this article to GA?
What else do people think would be needed to get this article to meet the Good article criteria?&mdash; Rod talk 18:20, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
