Talk:St. Cronan's Church, Tuamgraney

Absurd claim
The article contained the frankly silly claim that this 10th-century church "It is the oldest church in continuous use in both Ireland and Great Britain." Of the 3 sources (all Irish) at the end of the para, only one, a tourism piece from the Irish Times, seems to contain anything relevant: "... is believed to be the oldest church in continuous use not only in Ireland but probably throughout these islands. The 10th-century structure dates from at least 964...", with nothing to say who believes it. Certainly not any specialists in Anglo-Saxon architecture! There are plenty of older parish churches in England - large parts of All Saints' Church, Brixworth date to the 7th century, and it remains a functional parish church, as does St Mary's Priory Church, Deerhurst (8th century) and Escomb Church (7th century). Then there's St Martin's Church, Canterbury, which goes back to 580, as a renovated Roman church, and is still in use. Even with a generous allowance for for patriotic embellishment, the IT article is not acceptable as a WP:RS on this. Johnbod (talk) 01:12, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
