Initial view

This certainly appears to be a GA-status article, possibly an FA-status article but the outcome of this review will only be a GA. Its going to take me at least another day to read it in summary and then in detail; but it's likely to pass - soon rather than later. As it is big, it will be done in "bits"; I'm not going to try to do this in one big bite. Pyrotec (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

You may be interested in these comments about the article on my talk-page and my reply; it may save you some typing! Bencherlite^Talk 22:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

To update my reply:

• George Hedgeland now has an article - it turns out he designed the west window of Norwich Cathedral, so clearly passes WP:N.
• I've played around with mentions of the English civil war, expanding on first mention about the chaos it caused the college in financial and administrative terms, then just mentioning it in passing second time.
• I've provided references after individual sentences for the instances that Rodw noted where tighter citation was needed.
• I've shifted all inflation figures into a separate notes section, to improve readability.

Copy-editing is an on-going process, but I may be too close to the wood to see the trees! Bencherlite^Talk 02:12, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
