Further reading sections are generally misguided here: no one curates them, they bloat, and there's no guidance as to how any of these are useful: Kindly restore these to the article as they are used to verify points in the text or once they are helpfully glossed. — Llywelyn II   11:44, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Citation need deleted
I have deleted a citation need raised against the name of the house John Bray was reputedly born in on grounds that a citation to An Illustrated Literary Guide to Shropshire (1984), a book I possess, which first occurs at the end of the sentence, covers it by mentioning both the place and year of birth.Cloptonson (talk) 20:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
