Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 11:36, 20 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Article move to mainspace checks out, long enough, well written and certainly interesting. Hooks are both great, I like the mystery of the first one, but either is fine and check out. QPQ is a tick as well, this is good to go. One tiny thing, isn't "Grade II*" etc typically capitalised? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus!

Thanks for the review The Rambling Man. I hadn't noticed before but, as you say, "Grade I" etc. appears to be capitalised normally. I've changed this in the article - Dumelow (talk) 12:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Fascinating article, nice work. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recess arithmetic[edit]

"The chamber has eight recesses, one is used for the door and two for the windows, the final three recesses contain tombs for Hobart; his first wife Mary Anne and his second wife Caroline.[8][1]" This would seem to say that 3+3 = 8. IAmNitpicking (talk) 18:40, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It simply says of the eight recesses, six have a function? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:24, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The final two contain "wall memorials", plaques I guess. I'll add it to the article - Dumelow (talk) 19:49, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
