Talk:Long Melford

George Borrow
He used 'Long Melford' as a synonym for boxing, or fighting "Do you use [practise] Long Melford?". Arthur Conan Doyle mentions it in his parody of Borrow 'Borrowed Scenes'. Why is this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.224.95 (talk) 23:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Isopel (Belle) Berners one of Barrow's characters said she was from the great hall at Melford - thought to refer to the Workhouse which stood in Church Walk close to The Black Lion.

Long Melford is also a type of purse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.66.200 (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Rodbridge Corner
I feel that there is little merit in having a separate article for Rodbridge Corner. It has a tiny population, little of significance has happened there (as far as I am aware) and it is effectively part of Long Melford the village. It is definitely part of the parish of Long Melford, and since the Long Melford article covers both of these it seems best to put it in this context.

 * Strong Oppose, as you quoted at Articles for deletion/Flushing Farm, there are about 100 listed buildings in Long Melford 1 so there is a lot of merit in having a separate article for Rodbridge Corner. Crouch, Swale   talk to me   My contribs  19:40, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you are misrepresenting ILEW if you are suggesting his/her comment in that discussion was in favour of writing about all of them. Quite the opposite. But regardless, the number of listed buildings in Long Melford has absolutely no bearing at all on this discussion. Nancy  talk  07:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, being Grade II listed does not indicate notability. As I state in the discussion that Crouch, Swale refers to I wrote that such buildings are not remarkable and the editor is completely misinterpreting my comment. Regardless, though there may be much of merit to have content on in Long Melford there is little to nothing in Rodbridge Corner and hence my suggestion that it does not need a separate article.

 * Support per nom. Can't see justification for a separate article & contextually it would provide a much better and more helpful user experience to have what little info there is on Rodbridge Corner within Long Melford with a (deliberate use of the singular) redirect.

 * Support as per nom and Nancy.
 * Support - Rodbridge is part of Long Melford. The Railway Walk from Rodbridge to Sudbury and Rodbridge Picnic Park are both managed by Long Melford Parish Council and it is of historical sinificance. A Roman Cursus and Villa were located here and one of Melford's many Guildhalls stood at Rodbridge Corner next to the present day Guildhall Farm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.66.200 (talk) 13:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
