Vicar/Rector[edit]

I believe most of the priests responsible for St Mary's held the post of Rector, although the Rev. Jackson was also a Canon. Certainly the two houses on Standard Hill were widely known as St Peter's Rectory & St Mary's Rectory before they were sold by the parish. Semudobia (talk) 20:54, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Largest church after the (Roman Catholic) Cathedral?[edit]

This claim has been in the article since its very first revision by Necrothesp in 2006 - but is there any source for it?

Our article gives (with source) the dimensions of this church as 215ft long, by 100ft across the transepts. This source gives the RC cathedral as 190ft long, by 83ft across the transepts; significantly smaller on both dimensions. This source gives further dimensions for St Mary's, and it exceeds the cathedral on virtually every count - the cathedral has a spire that's slightly taller than St Mary's tower, but that's the only dimension I can find where it exceeds it.

Any ideas on this claim and where it came from? (It can now be found all over the internet, but mostly in phrasing that seems taken directly from us.) TSP (talk) 02:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No idea where I got it from, I'm afraid. I created this article in the early days when sourcing was a very rare thing on Wikipedia and we just created stubs like wildfire. In fact, I don't even remember creating it! I suspect I'd just visited the church and they made the claim themselves. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
