 * Info box and lead
 * Country parameter in the info box says United Kingdom, but the first line of the lead says England. I, personally, think England should be used. England is a country, United Kingdom is a sovereign state.

 * builders Kirk and Parry; Yerburgh and Thomas Parry were → Is this the same Parry?
 * Yes - I believe I have clarified this - let me know what you think.


 * Is 'Kirk and Parry' the name of the builders, as in a duo?
 * Yes, but it was also the name they traded under; there were (successively) two Charles Kirks in the firm.

On hold for 7 days. Interesting article. — Calvin999 17:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Outcome
 * Thanks for taking this on. Your comments are much appreciated and I have fixed all of them but the last two - could you perhaps clarify how best to tweak the wording for them? King regards, —Noswall59 (talk) 18:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC).
 * Ah okay I get it now. I was just a bit confused at first due to the omission of first names and then a full name after a surname. Everything else done? — Calvin999  18:21, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I can see everything is done. Passing. — Calvin999  19:01, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
