The Web Site incorrectly states Mr Julian Kitcherner-Fellowes's wife is called "Lady". Although she is the niece of the current Lord Kitchener her name is in fact Miss Emma Fellowes (or since 1996 deed-pole Kitchener-Fellowes). Also, as a wife of a "Lord of the Manor" - which is not part of the Peerage - she is not called "Lady". Instead she is "Mrs Kitchener-Fellowes Lady of the Manor". Julian Fellowes father was Mr (not Sir) Peregrine Fellowes, from whom he apparently acquired this "Lordship of the Manor", as the youngest son.

Tom Thumb
The name is article linked to that on Tom Thumb the storybook character but that article does not link him with the man whose gravestone is in Tattershall church. The citation linked to Tattershall community website makes no apparent mention of the reputed height - which is given in the article in cm! (A unit invented in France almost two centuries later.)Citation to a work that gives the man's height would be appreciated.Cloptonson (talk) 20:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC) I notice the height is mentioned on a linked website of Tattershall Church (not given as citation) but further detail lacks. The name as carved on the slab is simply given as "T. Thumb", no precise date other than year 1620 is stated.Cloptonson (talk) 20:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC) For Lincolnshire readers able to look this up, is the man mentioned in published parish registers of Tattershall? (Instituted in England 1538).Cloptonson (talk) 20:43, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Colleges
I fear that the section on the college reflects a common misunderstanding. Colleges were communities of secular priests or canons, not educational institutions. Tattershall Holy Trinity was a collegiate church, like many of the large medieval churches, with a community of resident priests The college was dissolved in 1545, as part of the abolition of chantries and colleges in Edward VI's reign. The relevant volume of the Victoria County History has a brief history of the college. As it happens, the priests were accused in Henry VIII's reign of neglecting the education of choristers.
