I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

Query

My only minor query is regarding focus. I question the need to have a section on the Bethesda name. The name seems generic rather than specific to this chapel. The information could be removed at no loss of relevant information regarding the subject, or at the least absorbed more succinctly into the main body. I have already absorbed the generic information regarding the listing into the main body. Anyway, this is a minor query, and it's open to debate, so I won't hold up the GAN on this minor point.

General comments

There is a disconnect between the article title and the information in the article. Not a GA issue, but I would suggest a move back to its original name of Bethesda Methodist Chapel, Hanley. Most sources refer to the chapel using Hanley rather than Stoke-on-Trent, and Henley is where the chapel is located, as indicated throughout the article.
