I'll have this done by tomorrow JAG  UAR   17:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Initial comments

 * The first paragraph of the lead should be expanded a little if possible, so that both paragraphs of the lead are of even size (per WP:LEAD)
 * I've moved a few words around to try to balance this.&mdash; Rod talk 18:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)


 * "The house was built in the early 14th century by Muchelney Abbey to house the parish priest" - I'd re-word this to nearby Muchelney Abbey as at first it sounded like the Abbey built it!
 * Added in the lead. The Abbey (as an organisation rather than a building) did build it.&mdash; Rod talk 18:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)


 * "Over the centuries it deteriorated and was adapted for use as a school and then rented as storage by a farmer" - I would mention that it was rented to a farmer in the late 19th century, as it sounded like it was still rented by a farmer
 * Done.&mdash; Rod talk 18:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)


 * "The National Trust rent it to a tenant who provides limited access to the public" - this sentence should be merged with the last one in the history section, to create a better flow of prose. Also, it might sound better with it opening as Today the National Trust rent...?
 * I think I've done what you mean, changing the order of sentences a bit.&mdash; Rod talk 18:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)


 * "The two-storey thatched hall house is made local stone with hamstone dressings" - "made of local stone"
 * Done.&mdash; Rod talk 18:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

On hold
This is a nice little article. It is well researched and the only issues I could find with it was the organisation of the lead and one dead ref that seemed important. Once they're all clarified then this should have no problem passing  JAG  UAR   17:12, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments which have hopefully been addressed.&mdash; Rod talk 18:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Rod! The article looks great now and meets the GA criteria, so I'll promote this now. Another Somerset GA  JAG  UAR   19:59, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
