Talk:Knepp Castle

Split out article for Knepp Wildland
I propose to split out in the section on 'rewilding' into a new article titled Knepp Wildland and then add substantially to the content (using the name the owners use for the wilded land).PeterEastern (talk) 16:34, 27 December 2020 (UTC)


 * First add the content and then it will be clearer whether there is enough material to justify two articles.---Ehrenkater (talk) 16:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree that that would be the appropriate approach. I am very confident that this will be the case, and also that the nature of the articles will be very different. One primarily about English history and the other about ecology. PeterEastern (talk) 00:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Fyi, I have now added a bunch of content, some of it moved from Sir Charles Burrell, 10th Baronet and in my view it is now ready for a move because it is already dominating the primary subject of the article. I'll give a bit more time for people to comment before making the actual spilt. PeterEastern (talk) 02:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I have now completed the split. PeterEastern (talk) 09:08, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Edit request
I contributed to Medieval Archaeology's "Medieval Britain and Ireland—Fieldwork Highlights in 2022" with information on fieldwork at Knepp Castle in 2021 and 2022. I've suggested a couple of sentences below which could be added to the article. As I was involved in the project, I'm raising it here for the input of other editors.


 * The Society for Medieval Archaeology funded geophysical surveys at the castle in 2021 and 2022, with the aim of finding out more about the layout of the castle and searching for evidence of burning which could relate to King John's orders to burn Knepp. While there was no evidence of burning was found, the surveys did find possible buried archaeology.

I was thinking the text could go at the end of the 'Later history' section. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:00, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
