List of English Heritage properties in Somerset

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Rod talk 09:25, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is a well illustrated, referenced and comprehensive list of the properties of English Heritage in the English county of Somerset. The format is based on the recently promoted List of National Trust properties in Somerset. &mdash; Rod talk 09:25, 13 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Note - Nominator will have no internet access from 29 July to 10 Aug.&mdash; Rod talk 19:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Comments
 * "It has a broad remit of managing the historic environment of England and advises the relevant Secretary of State on policy and in individual cases such as registering listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments. " This sentence seems to get lost in the middle. Presumably EH advises on policy and acts executively on listing, but this is not clear.
 * EH advises both on policy and individual cases. It has no power to list buildings it is the secretary of state that does this (although EH advises and then records the decision). I've added "both" is this clearer?&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Cleeve - could conventual be linked?
 * I'm not sure what to link it to. Have changed to ancillary buildings - as these were accommodation and refectory buildings etc.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Dunster. "The base and shaft which probably date from the 15th century remain, however the head of the cross has been lost." This does not sound grammatically correct to me - maybe change "however" to "but" (or semi-colon after "remain"). I would also put a comma after shaft and century.
 * Changed to "but" and commas added.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Farleigh. I suggest linking anthropomorphic
 * Linked to Anthropomorphism.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * "The Gallox Bridge in Dunster dates from the 15th century. In the 14th century it was known as Doddebrigge." Known before it existed?
 * The site with a previous crossing was known... Changed - is this better?&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Stanton Drew. A bit curious to say the Cove is 1000 years older than the circles without giving the age of either. I think this is vital information.
 * I agree this would be really nice to know but none of the sources I have looked at are specific about dates. Neolithic is the term generally used. This BBC report and this from the local council based on this study give the 1,000 year figure.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This report p. 63 says "The three stone circles at Stanton Drew are thought to have been constructed during the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age between 3000 and 2000 BC."
 * Thanks. Although I'd included that report I'd not spotted that date. Now added.&mdash; Rod talk 07:16, 21 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Stoney Littleton. As above. Presumably the bones have been carbon dated?
 * Again Neolithic sems to be as accurate as we get.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * The Tribunal. "Iron Age possessions" I think artefacts would be a better word.
 * Changed.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Yarn. "It is in the guardianship of English Heritage but is managed by the National Trust." I am not sure what guardianship means here. Does EH own it?
 * I think the nation owns it & I am also unsure exactly what the relationship between EH and NT is.&mdash; Rod talk 21:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * A first class list. These points are minor. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:38, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:20, 21 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Support – A most impressive piece of work. The layout, the map and the images are a pleasure to look at, and the prose in the lead and the table is equally pleasing. One tiny quibble: in the refs to printed books the location of the publisher is sometimes given and sometimes not – e.g. refs 51 and 52. I think this should be tidied up before the page is promoted, as it certainly deserves to be, IMO. –  Tim riley  talk    16:54, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I've removed a couple of "place of publication" for consistency. In the case of Ref 52 "Nempnett Books" is the name of the publisher.&mdash; Rod talk 17:24, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
