Interesting building, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook: I approve it as the nominator's wish is my command, but perhaps we can improve? First wish: an image, which makes sort of understand why this high structure was considered good for climbing. Without it, it could be any church unless we add the architect, or at least a year. Second wish: get "Grade II*" somewhere later (if the particular listing matters enough), - I can see readers just not getting past that. Third wish (but more work): get in the sponsor's wish for it to stay - which the construction now did but not the spirit. - In the article, the sentence about the dedication in the lead has two verbs, and do we have to say "the saint"? Some will know, others may not care, at least not at this point of general intro. - Private question: is the name still "church", for the climbing facility? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:41, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
