Merge

The merge proposal tag has been in place for over a year without a word of discussion. Not even the person who proposed it could be bothered to pop along here and discuss it. I think it should now be removed. Best wishes 138.37.199.206 (talk) 07:39, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think they should be merged. 02:39, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

"2008 shooting incident"

In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't seem like a significant event in the history of the cathedral and was probably an example of wp:recentism. But the text is pasted below. Bob talk 20:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC) 'On Sunday 30 November 2008 an armed man, David Sycamore aged 39 BBC news, More BBC news: David Sycamore was shot dead by police in the Cathedral grounds. The Cathedral had to postpone an Advent carol service planned for that day.[reply]

Agreed - it's better without. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 23:17, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Had I seen this earlier I might have argued 'keep it' - fatal shootings in cathedral grounds don't happen every day in England - and note Guildford's cathedral isn't ancient - and there might have been a memorial to the fatality put up since.Cloptonson (talk) 08:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Buy a brick campaign

The 1950s buy a brick campaign is mentioned in the article. It was apparently preceded in the late 1930s by a scheme where Surrey schoolchildren were encouraged to "buy a brick" for the cathedral, though they didn't get to put their names on it. I know of this because it was a story my late father, who was at school in Kingston then, used to tell us. Unfortunately I haven't found any reliably sourced evidence for it but someone might have a clue where to look. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 18:30, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
