Citation need deleted
editI have deleted a citation need raised against the name of the house John Bray was reputedly born in on grounds that a citation to An Illustrated Literary Guide to Shropshire (1984), a book I possess, which first occurs at the end of the sentence, covers it by mentioning both the place and year of birth.Cloptonson (talk) 20:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
