All Saints Church, Lydd

(

... that All Saints Church (pictured) in Lydd is the longest parish church in Kent at 199 feet (61 m)?

This is a pretty decent article; the writing is fine and well-sourced, and the date and length are OK too. I'm not very enthusiastic about the hook though, which is a bit dull. The fact about its Romano-British antecedents (which I expanded) seems more interesting. How about something like the following:

ALT1: ... that All Saints Church (pictured) in Lydd may incorporate a Romano-British basilica dating from the 5th century?

Any thoughts? Prioryman (talk) 23:07, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Don't mind, but I thought the longest church was a decent fact.♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:10, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

I suppose either hook will do; let's leave it to the discretion of the person who closes this nomination. I'm happy for the article to go. Prioryman (talk) 09:09, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
