A few tweaks
, - I’ve made a few tweaks here. In brief: Hope this is helpful. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 08:13, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * British History Online - There are a number of ways this could be cited, but this is a digital version of the relevant volume of the Victoria County History, as is often the case. I used to cite as BHO but another editor suggested it’s clearer to cite it as what it is, and I think they were right. I’ve left the link as the url;
 * British Listed Buildings Online - this is a great source, and has information, e.g. coordinates, that other sites don’t. But it’s not the official source for listing info, which is Historic England for England, and Cadw for Wales. I think it’s better to use the official sources, and we have helpful templates for this. For England/HE, we have - National Historic List for England - and for Wales/Cadw, we have  - National Historic Assets of Wales. Then you just stick in the identifying number - use the updated one, not the Legacy ID which BLBO also includes - the name (desc), the grade and the access-date, and the template does it all for you.
 * Reference style - bad form, as I should have followed the historic style chosen by the original author, but as there was only one book, now three, I’ve flipped it to sfn, which I find one hell of a lot easier. We’re missing a page number for Mills’ Dictionary.
