Current status: Good article

Not much information here. Who owned it after Allen? When did the National Trust take over? Deipnosophista (talk) 22:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prior Park redirect

[edit]

Should Prior Park really direct to this page, as Prior Park is the house and it's not really the same as the gardens! Abbyemery 12:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Four left

[edit]

What are the four palladian bridges left? (1) Stowe (2) Prior Park (3) Tsarskoye Selo (4) .. ? Something tells me there might be more. NVO (talk) 19:19, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

[edit]
Harry Patch photographed at the lake at Prior Park (Palladian Bridge in background) in 2007.

Probably not worth putting on the Prior Park page itself, but possibly of interest.86.147.160.133 (talk) 13:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some notes

[edit]

I saw this was nominated for GA and I thought it should be noting that it is not home to one of four Palladian bridges, but to one of four in its specific style. Also the screen wall is known as Sham Bridge, a reference I believe to the nearby, somewhat related Sham Castle.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 08:22, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. The wikilink in both the lead and the section point to Palladian architecture so this is the architectural style - do you think it would be better to change the link to make it is clear it is the style which is being referred to? Re Sham Bridge: This source says "Thus the Sham Bridge at Prior Park is reminiscent of Kent's cascade at Chiswick House, or Venus' Vale at Rousham", but doesn't mention Sham Castle. My understanding is that Sham Castle was built for the view from Ralph Allen's Town House, Bath rather than Prior Park.— Rod talk 18:04, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is still correct to Palladian architecture so I don't see any problem there, and that I noted a somewhat relation between Sham Bridge and Sham Castle was just that they were Ralph Allen-coined "sham" follies, and wanted to note the name of Sham Bridge as it was not mentioned in the article. I'm certainly no expert on producing GAs but I just thought I'd help out.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've made some edits which I hope are in line with what you are thinking?— Rod talk 20:15, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well all looks good to me :) Good luck with the GA nomination. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 03:13, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - nice piece of work.

Neat article, a few issues noted above, so I'll place it on hold for a bit. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:27, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"During 1737, at least 55,200 trees, mostly elm and Scots pine, were planted, along the sides and top of the valley. The valley floor remained as grassland and drainage water was channelled to form fish ponds at the bottom of the valley." needs referencing, then I think we're done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:45, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All good, I'll pass to GA. If you could just tweak that ISBN so it's the "preferred" format, that'd be great. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

National Trust pilot

Hello! During late June, July and some of August, I'm working on a paid project sponsored by the National Trust to review and enhance coverage of NT sites.
