Article is almost entirely copied verbatim from an 1837 PD source, and excluding the PD text there is only about 400 characters of original prose (the lede, and even that is not entirely original). Therefore it fails Eligibility criteria 2 b). Moreover, the complete reliance on an 1837 source means the article gives a highly misleading and inaccurate description of the present-day village. It may be useful on the Victorian Wikipedia to inform the reader that the village had 1921 inhabitants in 1837, that 350 to 400 sacks of flour were manufactured weekly in the 1830s, and that although there is no-glebe house there is a glebe of 22 acres and 38 perches; but these anachronistic facts are of very little help to most readers of our Wikipedia, and I cannot think that creating articles like this is helpful to the project.
