... that in "an inspired community effort involving the whole village", 16th-century residents of Bolney, West Sussex, built their church's 66-foot (20 m) tower (pictured)?

Comment: This photo of the tower itself, although rather tall and narrow, is probably more appropriate than a pic of the whole church. The quote is a direct cite from the book The Kent & Sussex Weald.

- how about a rejig to "... that 16th-century parishioners of St Mary Magdalene's Church, Bolney built the church's 66-foot (20 m) tower (pictured) in "an inspired community effort involving the whole village"."? A bit longer because it has the church name, but flows more naturally. Circéus (talk) 03:33, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Yep, that sounds reasonable; let's go with that. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 08:29, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

This article meets the DYK criteria of length and newness. The references, including that for the hook, are offline and are accepted in good faith. I have rewritten the accepted hook below for ease of use. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:03, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
