i added the cleanup tag specifically in regards to the 1st paragraph which referenced 'Manor' but provided no first name, citation or introduction to who this person might be. apparently the introduction etc. was added as i was slowly attempting to add my cleanup tag. however, i propose retaining the tag for a while since this page is included in the "did you know..." section and still appears to need some attention.Jeffery A.

-- The correct name of Peter Manor was in the original article. A vandal changed the name to Lesley Burkett which is why there were references to manor in the rest of the article. I erased the cleanup tag since it now makes sense. Eran181
