Is now St Mary Redcliffe church in Bristol the second-largest parish church? [[Benbristol] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.59.250 (talk) 10:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is this addition a form of advertising it is not clear the churches position of retaining copyright in this manner is legal. It should have stay removed.Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:06, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How can the reduction of an entire unwanted new section advertising guided tours of the Abbey be seen as "a form of advertising". And how does reference to a church booklet and photogaphy permit constitute a breach of church copyright? I think a short note on photograohy restrictions is very appropriate in the Worship section, is also generally useful and should be retained. Thanks.

Might have been something I missed. It appeared to me as if the whole thing was put back when I looked first. Still not a fan of the statement that is there but that may have something to do with my distaste for the practice of charging photographers to photograph historic structures then saying they are restricted in what they can do with the photographs. Saffron Blaze (talk) 00:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I think readers should be warned! A small footnote would be fine, and possibly better, since it's difficult to see where this information logically fits. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:44, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Tewkesbury Abbey 2011.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Tewkesbury Abbey 2011.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 5, 2013. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2013-09-05.

Picture of the day

The Abbey of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, is one of the largest parish churches in England. It was established in the 11th century and has borne witness to much of Tewkesbury's history.Photo: Saffron Blaze

Archive – More featured pictures...

I've changed the blurb. It didn't make sense and has some bad grammar.
Original: "The Abbey of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, is one of the largest parish church in England. It was established and has borne witness to several parts of Tewkesbury's history."
Now: "The Abbey of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, is one of the largest parish churches in England. It was established in the 11th-century and has borne witness to much of Tewkesbury's history."
--Rushton2010 (talk) 23:36, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was modified in the middle of writing owing to a lack of referencing here (makes it hard to write a blurb) and, since I wrote it at 5:45 a.m., a lot got missed. Thanks for catching the writing errors. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Second largest parish church in the country?

The claim does not seem to be supported by sources. This website http://www.wearechurch.net/list-of-largest-parish-churches-in-country/ does not include it in the top fifteen, though that may be because it was excluded from the sample. In any case, a reliable source for the claim is needed. Ghughesarch (talk) 00:47, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hugh le Despencer died in 1348 (or 1349 depending on when you think the year began) but is presently logged as just "1338". This needs advancing by 10 years and making clear that it is his date of death (ie, "d.1348"), but I'm not sure how to do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.170.141.245 (talk) 19:25, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flooding

Although a citation is mentioned, I would just like to point out that the flood waters of the River Severn did not reach the Abbey - it was flooded to a number of inches by groundwater : I helped sandbag the entrance and lived just across. Birmingham1965 (talk) 02:08, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
