Westby

The Westby Hall at Westby-with-Plumptons [1] is in fact now a caravan storage site: [2] ! No witches in sight. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

I've been searching for a source to add the Hall to the Westby-with-Plumptons article and link it to George Leo Haydock, as we have come this far. Sadly although I've found several mentions of a catholic mission there, I can't find anything suitable. I see you've been involved with the article previously, do you have anything?

I will have to check Porter (1878). Of course St Annes Church is still there - that may deserve its own article, but that dates only from 1860. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:03, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I believe the church was built 16 years after the mission was closed by a CofE member of the Clifton family.

In a weird coincidence I added links to the members of the Nutter family who were executed as priests. John Nutter (martyr) who is only a redirect at the moment, seems to have been executed with George Haydock, an earlier member of the same family. Small world! --Trappedinburnley (talk) 22:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I'd urge you to create an article for the church. I would be happy to help with photos, if required. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:27, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

So, "George Haydock has nothing to do with John Nutter"? But reading the Haydock article, it seems that they were both executed at Tyburn on 12 February 1584. Is that correct? Martinevans123 (talk) 23:43, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Having recently asked the resident church expert to create some new articles for me on the grounds that I haven’t got the time, creating this would be a bit tricky. But if you get Gawthorpe up to standard I’ll see what I can do. On that subject have you seen Townships - Habergham Eaves?

The Haydock article is backed up by the Catholic Encyclopedia source. And I noticed that Mr Happy removed the link, but I’m cool with that. Why do you ask? --Trappedinburnley (talk) 23:26, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Only since martyrdom seemed a convenient antidote to Mr Happy. ".. get Gawthorpe up to standard" lol. But do tell Mallodorous Fuk'em-all-am that Judith Mavis Cock deserves his full attention. Meanwhile Peter I.V. remains a shining example to us all. Regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:44, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

I've also noticed your additions to Gawthorpe Hall, hopefully you haven't found User:Cj1340 to be too over protective. I've taken issue with him previously over the correct description of its location. While we are on the subject I'm not seeing much in the way of references, is this something you where planning on adding later, or can I assist you? --Trappedinburnley (talk) 21:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I've not heard much from Cj1340 lately. so I assume he's ok with the additions. All I have added is from the National Trust Guidebook (currently Reference 7) paraphrased as best I can. Many thanks for reminding me - I had better go and sprinkle a few refs there. I'd welcome anyone who was able to check my paraphrasing to check there is no copyright infringement. I sometimes seem to have a problem with putting what I see as "plain facts" into a new "non-copyright" format. Some editors have even chosen to make an example of this, suggesting that I need to be "taught a lesson". So feel free to adjust or condense as you see fit. Many thanks.

Warning: an unregistered editor is adding copyrighted material by cut and paste from the church website. As you know, this is unacceptable in Wikipedia. You may like to deal with it. I've done all I feel I can to the article and, as a local, you might like to keep care of it. Best wishes, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 19:41, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your polite note, which will doubtless baffle some other future hapless random ip editor. Urgh, "an unregistered editor" - the worst possible sort, eh? Did you compare what I had written with the original, before your global delete? Do you honestly think Rev Williams, or his PCC, or the Anglican Church as a whole, would have a problem with this? I have tried to paraphrase further. But if you still see a problem, I suggest you have a go. Most of those additions seemed to me to be plain facts. Alternatively, if you think they add nothing, then I will not contest their deletion. I was trying to improve, that's all. Kind regards. 109.153.217.60 (talk) 22:00, 30 August 2012 (UTC) (p.s. how can the other 74 churches, that Burnley has seen over the centuries, have been overlooked for quite so long? and do you know if Burnley ever had a synagogue? thanks)

John Towneley (translator)

Now interested in him, mildly. He fits in with Robert Harding Evans that I'm editing today, as the uncle of the John Towneley mentioned there (1731–1813). I could copy edit your draft at some point. Charles Matthews (talk) 18:26, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Warton Crag

Hallo, After an enjoyable walk there yesterday I was all set to create an article for Warton Crag, but fortunately my Googling found me your in-progress article!

I've found a few sources for further information or External links - AONB website (includes pdf of their 20-page guide for an External link), fell race, climbing website, Lancashire wildlife trust. What are your plans for the article? Shall I edit your draft, or do you feel ready to put it up in article space where I can edit it?

I see there are several incoming redlinks already. PamD 17:03, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

OK, it looks as if you've stopped editing or are having a long wikibreak. I'll go ahead and start a new article. PamD 16:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
