Contradiction: Buried in 1785?!
William Derham (26 November 1657 – 5 April 1735)... The registers at the Church of St Laurence, Upminster record his burial in 1785
Was it 1735 or 1785? 1785 seems unlikely since it suggests he lived for 128 years!

"Necessary" doors
...top of the tower of St Laurence's Church, where the necessary doors are still in place.' This is unnecessarily mysterious. "Necessary" to his experiment, no doubt, but how?--Wetman (talk) 17:53, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
