Proper title?

[edit]

I wonder if I should actually have titled this the "Priory Church of St Mary, Usk"? Coflein uses both, with Church of St Mary first, but everyone else seems to favour using "Priory". If the consensus is for it to be renamed, I'd be very grateful if someone could do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KJP1 (talkcontribs) 16:06, 1 May 2016‎

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who register and maintain 4 graves of WWI service personnel, list the burial ground as Usk (St Mary Magdalene) Churchyard, so surely the correct title ought to be at least "Priory Church of St Mary Magdalene, Usk"?Cloptonson (talk) 15:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I'd use CWGC as my primary source for the name. Coflein doesn't use Magdalene, nor does British Listed Buildings Online, nor indeed does the church itself, [1]. CWGC is very useful for military burials, but I'd stick with the others for the name. KJP1 (talk) 16:02, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree - no change to the title is needed. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:10, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
