Have gone through the text (apologies for the length of time it has taken to me to get to this), and made the odd change. Just a couple of things:

Lead

"...packed within its bailey's walls." This wording doesn't seem to flow well to me. Perhaps rephrase to "packed within the walls of its bailey."

17th–18th centuries

Philip Piper: is the spelling of the surname correct? I assume Hugh Pyper is a descendant?

Everything else looks great. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 03:05, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Hchc2009: just a ping in case you missed my follow up comments regarding the text. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, missed them! "packed" fixed as proposed. Philip Piper is as per the source; I think Pyper has to be a descendant, with the usual changes of spelling you get in this period, but the sources don't actually say this, and we'd be into OR unfortunately.

OK, that's fine. The article looks good and I believe it meets all the GA criteria: it broadly covers the subject, is well written in a neutral tone and appropriately cited and illustrated. Passing as a GA now. Great work! Zawed (talk) 06:10, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
