Talk:Norton Priory

Pre-FAC comments

 * Priory
 * "It is thought that the dedication to St Bertelin was taken from the dedication of the Saxon church". By whom is it thought?
 * It's in Victoria County History so I've amended the text to reflect this.


 * "Sandstone for building the priory was available at an outcrop nearby, sand for mortar could be obtained from the shores of the River Mersey, and boulder clay on the site provided material for floor and roof tiles. Remnants of oak were found on the site, sometimes from trees hundreds of years old." The chronology is potentially ambiguous here. Because the previous sentence was talking about the materials for construction, it looks like those building the priory found the remnants of oak, but I'd guess it was actually the archaeologists.
 * Reworded.


 * Priory 1134–1236
 * The first paragraph tells us that "The first priorities were to establish a source of fresh water for drinking and a means of sanitation, together with the drainage of a relatively wet site", but we've already been told this in the second paragraph of the Priory section.
 * Reworded.


 * Abbey
 * "The fuel used consisted of wood and charcoal, and turf from marshes over which the priory had rights of turbary." I know turbary is linked, but reviewers often ask for a short explanation the first time a term like that is used, such as "... turbary, the right to cut turf" or similar.
 * Short definition in parentheses.


 * Country house
 * "More specialists were employed and local volunteers were recruited." More specialists than what?
 * Patrick Green was a specialist; but I've deleted "More".

 * Thanks for the comments which I have addressed. Are they sufficient?--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:38, 30 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think that's fine now. Just one last thing; there are a couple of links to disambiguation pages that need to be sorted out before you chance your arm with this at FAC.


 * Good luck! Malleus Fatuorum 18:26, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
