 * Symbol question.svg. Checked length, date of posting and hook reference, and all pan out. No copy vio in the text. Img holds free license. However, the second sentence in the lead is confusing to me as the church gives its name to the "Gresley Priory" and not to 'Gresley Church'.Please clarify.-- Nvvchar . 08:28, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * What needs clarifying? Both are just names; both a Priory and a church are exactly the same things: they are both church buildings. There is one single building at Gresley that was at first a priory church and then like countless others changed to a parish church following the reformation; it is the same building, the only difference is the people who perform services there. It is this single church building that gave Church Gresley it's name; it is named for the church building (as apposed to Castle Gresley which was named for the castle). As the Hook Says: The Church was originally a Priory. And the article explains that. Rushton2010 (talk) 09:15, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * In view of above Symbol confirmed.svg good to go.-- Nvvchar . 07:27, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
