Comments

• First two sentences of history could read better. They seem to be lacking context.
• Don't mix and match units in the second paragraph of history (must readers know what a "square league" is?). It's also unclear how this paragraph is relevant to the subject at hand.
• There is no reason for "extremely valuable cargo of spices, indigo, drugs, Indian piece goods and 100 tons of pepper" to have quote marks. It's perfectly doable to write in your own words.
• Only the first letter of a section header should be capitalized.
• The common surnames section, most of the national heritage section, and most of the archaeological significance section are all unreferenced (you should perhaps merge those last two sections, by the way).
• Many references seem to be simply external links with titles, not full citations.
• This article seems to have many large gaps in its coverage of the subject. Where's the information on demographics? Geography and geology? Wildlife and plantlife? History of the parish itself?
• In the gallery, the blurry closeups of various bits of the church architecture aren't really relevant to the parish itself.

Sorry if this all seems a bit harsh, but unfortunately this article is closer to start-class (C-class at best) than it is to GA. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 16:37, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
