Talk:Newington Green

Early comment
Should hold the line for now. I have more to say about the CIM and a pic, which gets us some stuff about the Boxer rebellion, but later. Tarquin Binary 12:23, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

a mess of an article
This article has so much good material in it, but organisationally it is really mixed up. It starts out being a chronological history, but often twists off into discussing areas or entities (Mildmay, New River). Why does Pepys warrant a section on the same level as the whole of the 20th century? Here is the current table of contents, for the record: 1 Origins 2 Royal visitors and ministers 3 Samuel Pepys 4 Mildmay 5 Nonconformists and the Dissenting Academies 6 Unitarian Church, Price and Wollstonecraft 7 The New River 8 Synagogues and Jewish life 9 19th century 10 20th century 11 Newington Green today 12 Listed buildings

What would be the best way to reorganise this mess? BrainyBabe (talk) 10:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Contradiction tag
I've been queried on my use of the "contradiction" tag for this muddle.
 * The thirteenth century saw Newton become Newington, whilst the prefix 'Stoke' was added in the area to the north, distinguishing it from Newington Barrow or Newington Berners in Islington. Newington Barrow later became known as Highbury, after the manor house built on a hill.[...] The name Newington Green was first mentioned in 1480. By the 1490s it was fringed by cottages, homesteads and crofts on the three sides in Newington Barrow manor in Islington[contradiction]. The north side was divided between the manors of Stoke Newington and Brownswood in South Hornsey.

The whole article is such a jumble of information that this one item hardly stands out. However. As it stands, the section says that Newington Barrow is known as Highbury, and that Newington Barrow is "fringed on three sides", i.e. that it is the green that exists today. It can't be both. There is a contradiction. I don't really know what it means. BrainyBabe (talk) 16:28, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
