• ... that the rural parish of Blakenhall once housed one of Cheshire's earliest documented ironworks?
  • ALT1:... that the rural parish of Blakenhall, Cheshire, had an iron foundry during the English Civil War? Sources: "On the fringe of Blakenhall lies Doddington Old Mill ... The same site was used as a furnace by Sir Thomas Delves, where the hammers and anvils were cast, and in 1667 the forge's output of pig iron was 500 tons." (The Cheshire Village Book p.34). & "How far there were furnaces, bloomeries and forges for iron-making in Cheshire is difficult to estimate. ... In 1619 a hammerman was mentioned in a register as belonging to Tib Green on Checkley Brook which is just inside the Cheshire southern border, and by 1646 there was certainly a refining forge or finery leased to Walter Chetwind of Rugeley. There may have been a forge refining pig iron at Madeley (near Crewe) or Heighley [neither is in Cheshire] ... During the Civil Wars, ironworks listed in Royalist Composition papers include Doddington, Lea, Church Lawton and Vale Royal." (Beck, p. 57). There is more detail pp. 73–81 of [1]

• Reviewed: Greyfriars, Winchelsea
• Comment: Prefer the main hook; the alt is in case the sourcing is not deemed clear enough to support "one of ... earliest documented" wording.

Overall: Nice work --evrik ^(talk) 19:27, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

This is just a drive-by comment, but I was wondering if the original hook could be revised in some way since they mainly mention places that may not be familiar to international readers. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
