 * Sorry for the delay in starting this.
 * Made some minor c/e myself.
 * The lead doesn't mention when the church was started, just that it replaced an "earlier 11th- or 12th-century building". ✅
 * Link "rectory" and "chancel" to Wikt. ✅
 * "the level had more than doubled" What is this referring to? The value or the actual size of the church? ✅
 * "in which was a chapel" to "which included a chapel" ✅
 * "Norwich suburb" Can 16th century England truly bee said to have suburbs?
 * ✅ Mmm. The term is technically correct (it is used by historians). Sentence amended however.


 * "which churches ... [had] fallen" You can elide "churches" here too, it's already implied that we're referring to them ✅
 * "Rev. Cook" I don't think we typically use religious titles past the initial introduction. ✅
 * What's citing note 1 and why is it important to mention the architect? Also, why is Junior lowercase in "Joseph Stannard junior"? ✅
 * "20th century - present" en-dash here. ✅
 * "as the Night Shelter" to "as a Night Shelter" ✅
 * Why is it considered at risk? ✅
 * "14th/15th century" to "14th to 15th century" ✅
 * Any reason you only mentioned the 20th century vicars in the table and not any from earlier?
 * 1. The list of incumbents before 1900 is complex (the men has various titles, there are times when the parish was linked with other ones, there are gaps where the records are missing, the periods of a number of incumbencies are not known for certain, the sources disagree). 2. A complete list would be very long, as some incumbents were in post for a year or so. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:30, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * The references all look reliable; will do spot-checks later. AryKun (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Spot-checks: Most of the sources are rather dated, and some from the 1800s especially so, but the history they're citing doesn't seem particularly controversial and I presume this reflects a lack of more recent sources that also include this level of detail. All sources checked verify the claims made.
