I'll be reviewing this article shortly. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Per CorenSearchBot - no sign of copyright violations. Random googling of three phrases shows no copyright violations, only wikipedia mirrors.
• Sources look fine. Did a quick troll through JSTOR and turned up nothing.
• Overview:
  • NOt required, but "overlooks a hundred acres of stone-walled" should be "100" per the MOS. Also should probably have a conversion to SI units.
  • Likewise should probably have a conversion for "extends west for a mile before"
• Design
  • Link or context for "found on the chimney girt of hall" - girt is not something I'm familiar with
  • "served as an open shed until 1965 where is was converted to a shop and office" .. uh, something is garbled here and I can't untangle it. I think you mean "served as an open shed until 1965 when it was converted to a shop and office" but I'm not sure.
  • the quote starting "longitudinal summer beams extending from the end..." needs a citation on it, not on the end of the paragraph.
• Importance:
  • Quote starting "rare survival of a late-seventeenth..." needs a citation on it, not at the end of the paragraph.
• Notes
  • Can we have a different section title for this section? Perhaps "Plaque issues" or "Plaque concerns" or "Historical plaque"?

I did a bit of copyediting. I am not nearly up to copyediting at the FA level, so if you're planning on heading this article towards FAC, I strongly recommend someone else going over it. It's a nice little article, good work!

I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
