Expansion...

I've gone through and expanded the article; I think it now reflects the literature. I've incorporated the town walls and bailey gate into the article, as they are typically dealt with together in the literature, and wouldn't easily stand up as articles on their own (without being forever stubs).

This article is in good shape. Just a few comments from me:

  • in the lead, given the number of William's, "William's heir" is a bit sketchy, I'd suggest "The fourth earl", assuming that is correct
  • the use of bolding of bailey gate in the lead is not per MOS:BOLD, as it is not a synonym. Unless there is another MOS reason for its bolding I recommend unbolding it
  • that is a redirect rather than an article. Bolding in the lead is limited to synonyms, and the bailey gate isn't a synonym for Castle Arce Castle and town walls, it is a subset of it.
  • the footnote in the lead is unnecessary, as the quote is footnoted in the body
  • Earl of Leicester is overlinked
  • Fixed. ~~
  • suggest "William gave the St Mary's"
  • suggest removing the initial cap from Duke in "backed the Duke" as it is not a formal title, we know who is being referred to, there is another example
  • suggest linking Disseisor
  • do you mean "the Peddars Way was redirected"?
  • "Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Norfolk" the last bit seems unnecessary
  • Town walls. is an incomplete sentence fragment

  • the isbn's are inconsistent, some contain hyphens, some do not
