Check Chronology
[edit]"It was destroyed by a mob of Jacobite supporters in 1715 but rebuilt the same year. The whole building was rebuilt on its present site in 1839 by local architect, A.B. Deakin with money provided by George the First's government."
I have raised a citation need over the rebuilding as I question the chronological exactitude of money provided by George I (died 1727) being available for use in the third year of Queen Victoria's reign. Also there was a Shrewsbury architect called Alfred Barnes Deakin who was not born in 1839 but could have done additional work on the building in his own lifetime.Cloptonson (talk) 09:59, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- I have discovered this to be a conflation of two architects' work, through reading Pevsner and Newman's The Buildings of England: Shropshire (2005 edition). I will therefore amend the detail accordingly.Cloptonson (talk) 18:58, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
