QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Usernameunique: Good article, but i'm not a fan of the hook. The hooks is more so about Maryon then the memorial. Along with that, it's just not that interesting to me. Could you propose a new one? Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Onegreatjoke. Alternatives below:

ALT1: ... that the Duffield Memorial's "unusual example of Art Nouveau design in metal work" led to its designation, 110 years after erection, as a Listed Building?

ALT2: ... that the Duffield Memorial, noted for its "unusual example of Art Nouveau design in metal work", was designed by a sculptor at a nearby university?

ALT3: ... that the Duffield Memorial was termed "quite unique" in 1912, and "unusual" in 2022? --Usernameunique (talk) 00:48, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Better hooks but "unusual example of Art Nouveau design in metal work" needs to be in the body and cited. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Onegreatjoke. It's in the penultimate sentence in "History". --Usernameunique (talk) 23:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
