Talk:Much Wenlock

Removed unsourced etymology and added a valid one.
I have removed the etymology given here as it was unsourced and unlikely. I have added one that is sourced and sound. Sigurd Dragon Slayer (talk) 18:02, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The etymology is wildly different from the one on the page for Little Wenlock. I cannot tell which one seems more legit. mnivis (talk) 08:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Distance from Little Wenlock
A more precise numerical distance is perhaps more helpful than calling Little Wenlock "nearby" - it is not in a bordering parish and is across the River Severn, beyond Broseley, Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale. Should distance be shortest road route or proverbial 'crow's flight'?Cloptonson (talk) 05:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Books
Much Wenlock also features importantly in the last half of Denis Pepper’s historical novel Botolph the Travelling Saint (ISBN 978-0-9567508-2-2). This is the last novel in The Botolph Trilogy which is set in the seventh century and is a dramatised overview of the true life of this important saint who, with his own monastery of Icanho, oversaw the foundation of Wenlock Abbey.


 * In my view this is not sufficiently noteworthy: there is no Wikipedia article on Denis Pepper and it is not published by a major publisher. I will revert this addition to the article, which appears to be advertising. Verbcatcher (talk) 03:46, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
