Talk:St Mary's and St Michael's Church, Burleydam

'Groundbreaking' and 'Additions' edit

In the box that lists information about the building, it says groundbreaking happened in 1769 and that it was completed in 1886. This is a skewed depiction of what happened (according to the article). In the article it says that it was constructed in 1769 and added to in 1886. My suggestion is that the box on the side lists says "Groundbreaking 1769. Additions made 1886". This would clarify what actually happened in 1886 and give a better understanding about the status of the building from 1769 -1886 (it wasn't under construction for that duration of time).

A problem with infoboxes is that there are limited fields and that their titles are fixed by those who create/maintain the template, namely {{Template:Infobox church}}. And an infobox is not there to provide complete accuracy - that should be in the body of the article. It's there for a quick glance, hopefully to tempt the browser to read more of the article. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Does this section belong in 'Interior' subsection? edit

I notice at the end of the 'Interior' subsection occurs this sentence:

The gates and railings of the church were relocated from the former personal chapel of the Salusbury Family at Lleweni Hall after Stapleton Cotton inherited the estate following the passing of his ultimate heir, Sir John Salusbury, father of Hester Piozzi in 1769.[citation needed]

Please check this - the description looks too similar to that in the 'External features' section about the gates and railings. I do not know if this is referring to what are known as 'communion rails', some of which do have gates, which DO belong to the interior section, otherwise this should be amalgamated into the External features section.Cloptonson (talk) 10:37, 23 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
