I shall review. ⇒T A P 14:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Initial Comments

The lead is meant to summarise the article, per MOS:LEADCITE and MOS:LEAD. In the article I see no reference of "Ramada Crawley Gatwick". I did not see the "or earlier" or "16th century" bit in the article body. Per that, include in body. I don't mind "Crawley's most celebrated building", as it is a quote.

Mentioned Ramada Crawley Gatwick in the facilities section. Will expand lead later.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:28, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History

"At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, no manor or village of Crawley existed,[5] but the thickly forested area was gradually being cleared and settled" — please reword this, so the "no manor or village of Crawley" is easier to read.
