Title wrong?

[edit]

I'm worried about the title which has been given to this article. It seems to be based on the referenced Mona Miscellany article- but that article appears to be unique in referring to Bishops Court, which is a mile inland, and so far south that one would have expected the ships to head for Peel rather than Ramsey after the battle (although the Bishop did indeed, apparently, witness the engagement from an elevated point in his estate). Most sources refer instead to Jurby Head (known as Jurby Point until the 19th century). Is there any objection to renaming the article "Battle of Jurby Point"?

Hello I would be happy in renaming this article Battle of Jurby Point. Thank you. Shire Lord (talk) 01:39, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
