I have just discovered that a chunk of this entry has been deleted; it is the portion created in August 2010 dealing with the restoration of the village that grew up around the main house ( the laundry cottages etc.and the birth of a sort of informal artistic colony which included Sylvia Fisher the opera singer, the restoration of the walled garden and the plan to use it for opera performances etc. This was later beautifully redone giving it a separate chapter; now it has gone; can you tell me why and by whom. Can it be reinstated please.Tristram G (talk) 14:28, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're referring to this deletion (not by me) of:
Of interest also are the several cottages that belonged to the Wotton Estate (the Gate Keeper's Cottage, the Laundry Cottages etc.). The renovation of the South Pavilion, inspired purchasers, who restored them, from the world of the arts including Sylvia Fisher the opera singer and her husband Ubaldo Gardini the violinist and opera language coach, Gus Sacher, the opera singing coach and his wife Mila and Winnie Bowman, an American lady. What had been a derelict estate came alive again. It is understood that it had been abandoned by Michael Beaumont, the last owner of the whole estate, because of the building by the then government of an underground rocket testing station in the fields to the front of Wotton House, the intermittent roaring noise from which could still be heard in the '60s, possibly even today.
None of this had a source attached, making it look no better than mere fiction. Do you have sources for it? -- Hoary (talk) 14:40, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was in part responsible. I made the first two changes:
Copy edit including adding sections (September 2011)
As Hoary said, without any reliable sources there was no way to verify the contents of that section. It was in the article without sources for two years, and then for almost another year with a request for someone to add citations before it was deleted. If in future someone can find reliable sources to substantiate the content then it can be re-added to the article. -- PBS (talk) 21:40, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
