Comments[edit]

I see I missed peer reviewing, but I will give a few comments here.

"under the eye of Thomas Mawson." What does this mean? Why not designed by him?
"dedicated to William Cocker" I would leave this out of the lead. It means nothing to the reader without the details below.
"Within the Stanley Park grounds stands a 5000 seat cricket ground" "stands" is an odd word here - perhaps "are".
"Albert Lindsay Parkinson". I would not put this in red - indicating that he is notable and should have his own article - without explanation.
"The land previously consisted of "the most heterogeneous..." A quote should have the name of the author as "According to x..."
"for the recreational needs of the modern generation". Comment as above.
I find the paragraph on Stowe House confusing.
"The lake’s tourist boating previously consisted of rowing boats and canoes though is now popular with motorboats and pedalos." This sounds ungrammatical.
"which the council embraced" I would leave out "embraced".
"Soon after, the building was deemed structurally unsafe". I would prefer "Soon afterwards"
"animals to transverse between sites." I think "to be moved" would be better than traverse.
I would have a bit more detail about access - say the names of three or four road names which have entrances.
A good article. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:10, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
