Talk:St Mary's Church, Astbury

Bells
As far as I know the ring has been enlarged by another 2 bells (late 1990s) to form a major of 8 bells. -- Ipwaz2003 (talk) 08:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source for this? It would be good to add it. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have made a small addition to deal with this but would prefer to have more details and dates from a better source. Peter I. Vardy (talk) 13:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Tuppence....
The history section would greatly benefit from an introductory sentence "The origins of the church are unclear..." (or something similar), which sets the tone for the next two sentences. Otherwise, the prose just dumps us in mid-stream as it were...Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:33, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Done. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:44, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

location
I think the location is a key piece of info that ought to come earlier in the article. If you can't make it an own section, why not just put it at the front of History? This would be a very normal way of writing about a building or ruin or the like. If the village location has changed over time, then I guess you could expand the discussion into an actual section on location.

It seems like some discussion of the village size and church size and how the church served the community would be relevant. For instance, was it just a basic parish church or some added importance? Any relations to aspects of history other than the Roundheads (like relations of town and nobility?)TCO (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The location is given in the first sentence. The coordinates and Grid Reference of the church are in the infobox.  The size and history of the village is not relevant IMO.  The size of the church is not available to me on the evidence available; if it becomes available, (or if you can find it), it can be added. If there were more history available on the evidence available to me, it would have been included.  I'm not sure what you mean by relations of town and nobility.--Peter I.

Alfred Hutton's grave
Many thanks to William Ball, M.A., Churchwarden & Secretary for providing information on Captain Alfred Hutton's grave and his memorial tablet, located in the chancel of the church, also for taking photos of the grave and the tablet. Later I would like to insert one sentence on Hutton in the article. Ulrich von Lichtenstein (talk) 07:28, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
