Expansion
Good to see so much more detail added and the information updated. I spent several memorable years at Grenville College and the gardens were a delight. Rosser Gruffydd 09:10, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Importance
This article is about a Mansion and estate which was the home of a family, the Grenvilles and Stucleys who had considerable influence on local, national and international significance through their role in the settlement of North America, Queen Elizabeth Ist navy and so on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosser1954 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 25 July 2006

Lundy coins section
I have removed the text in this article on Lundy coins which is not relevant to this article. Reproduced here for possible further move to a more relevant article (much other text, on Westward Ho, railway lines, etc I deleted as irrelevant, all having own articles anyway):

(Image:Lundypuffin2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|A 1 Puffin restrike of 1965, showing the Portrait of Martin Coles Harman owner of the Island in 1929.) One link which is of interest to numismatists, is that Sir Hugh N.Grenville Stucley was the presiding magistrate at the Petty Sessional Division court which tried the case of Supt. Bolt on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions v. Martin Coles Harman, charged with on the 5th day of March, 1930, in the Island of Lundy in the County of Devon, did unlawfully as a token for money issue a piece of metal to the value of one half-penny, contrary to Section 5 of the Coinage Act of 1870..(Boundy 1961) This is the case of the coins of Lundy which is still of interest to coin collectors World wide. Harman lost the case on appeal to the High Court of Justice and was fined £5 with fifteen guineas expenses. It was of added significance because it settled the question of the sovereignty of Lundy for good. (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 12:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC))
