Talk:Yarnton

NPOV dispute - Yarnton Manor
The series of edits has changed neutral language - referring to 'objections' - to non-neutral language - 'upset many locals'. It may also be worth considering whether this information is notable enough to be included as a minor point in the recent history of a building that is several hundred years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.27.100 (talk) 13:05, 24 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Kind-of with you, re notability of the current footpath issue in the context of the several centuries of the building's history. But the article is about the village; including its (present-day) amenities; and judging by the reported size of the public meeting, itz definitely notable in that context.  And the section on the manor house is the natural place to put it.


 * I’ve had a go at the POV thing: aiming to provide more fuel but less fire.

Manor House: Long Gallery fireplace
The fireplace in the manor house’s Long Gallery is a fascinating thing. It seems to comprise a later, smaller feature (1670? 1897??) built within an older, larger original (reflecting a transition from wood to coal as fuel?) The mantelpiece of the larger fireplace has a very striking pair of decorated herms, as supporters. To my eye the style looks more Egyptian - African, even: Nubian?? - than Classical.

Anyone able to comment? tht acshly knows anything about this sort of stuff? (As may be apparent, that doesn’t include me!)
