Hook: Short enough, interesting, cited. AGF as I am not in Britain and am not a subscriber.

Article: New enough, long enough. AGF on offline sources. What makes this a reliable source?

Hold pending clarification of source reliability. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Nice work, looks to be sheer laziness on my part! That website is the work of a local amateur historian. He is not, as far as I know, a published author so I have replaced the parts sourced to his website with a better RS (the online version of a book on the history of the town).

Well, it's still cited to the article for the plaque's date. Shouldn't the plaque itself be enough? Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough, have switched the ref over - Dumelow (talk) 13:12, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. AGF on offline and subscription sources. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
