NPOV dispute - Yarnton Manor

The series of edits has changed neutral language - referring to 'objections' - to non-neutral language - 'upset many locals'. It may also be worth considering whether this information is notable enough to be included as a minor point in the recent history of a building that is several hundred years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.27.100 (talk) 13:05, 24 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Kind-of with you, re notability of the current footpath issue in the context of the several centuries of the building's history. But the article is about the village; including its (present-day) amenities; and judging by the reported size of the public meeting, itz definitely notable in that context. And the section on the manor house is the natural place to put it.
I’ve had a go at the POV thing: aiming to provide more fuel but less fire.

The fireplace in the manor house’s Long Gallery is a fascinating thing. It seems to comprise a later, smaller feature (1670? 1897??) built within an older, larger original (reflecting a transition from wood to coal as fuel?) The mantelpiece of the larger fireplace has a very striking pair of decorated herms, as supporters. To my eye the style looks more Egyptian - African, even: Nubian?? - than Classical.

Anyone able to comment? tht acshly knows anything about this sort of stuff? (As may be apparent, that doesn’t include me!)
