Good Article promotion
Awesome, glad you took images of other inns as I'm sure there are other notable ones. Thanks for that. Hope you had fun!♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

St Botolph's Church, Botolphs
Thanks for taking an interest in my efforts with this page and for expanding it further. I am looking out for other churches with no Wikipedia entry. Incidentally I recently visited St John the Baptist in Clayton, which I thought was a marvellous church. I loved the depiction of the Satan's "fall" showing him lying on the ground!

DYK nom for List of places of worship in Rother
Hi Hassocks, I have reviewed your nomination for List of places of worship in Rother at Template:Did you know nominations/List of places of worship in Rother and I have a couple ALTs to suggest. Could you give some feedback there? Very nice article, by the way. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:46, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Listed buildings
Remember I made a bot proposal a few months back at Bot requests? I've reproposed it again. 6 months passed without any action and I really think it would be very helpful to the produce to have full lists. You may wish to make further comments.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hassocks I see you have a copy of The Buildings of England: Sussex. Is there any chance you could do me a big favour and add any country houses in the book to my List of historic houses in the United Kingdom list? I am am trying to literally list every country house.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:55, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Just bulleted would be fine. Of course sometime somebody could create a tabled country house list by county which has an info summary but the plain list for now is fine.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:59, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

St Peter's Church, Henfield
Hello Hassocks5489, I see you recently went to the Henfield, and have added a picture to Commons. I was there today and thought you might enjoy the picture of the window below. They have it rather hidden away in a small room, but Ian Nairn points it out in Pevsner. Thanks for the message about the churches in Arun and Horsham district. I am accumulating photos and church guides, so hopefully I will get around to doing some more articles. Kinnerton (talk) 17:09, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

In the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove, more than 30 former places of worship have been demolished for various reasons (Connaught Institute pictured during demolition in 2010). The area, originally a collection of villages around the fishing port of Brighthelmston and its neighbour Hove, has a long history of Christian worship, and many denominations founded churches and chapels as the town grew into the fashionable resort of Brighton and absorbed its neighbours. Pressure for land and redevelopment claimed many churches, such as Charles Busby's Greek Revival St Margaret's proprietary chapel and the landmark Dials Congregational Church; others, like the Gothic Revival Christ Church and the "graceful" Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion Chapel, suffered structural or fire damage; and others became unviable as congregations declined. The "Wagner churches"—a series of eleven 19th-century Anglican churches in poor areas, founded and paid for by the Vicar of Brighton Henry Michell Wagner and his son—have fared badly: six no longer survive. In many cases, displaced worshippers have joined the congregations of other churches, whose parishes have been enlarged.
