Reviewing...new enough, reads well, long enough, QPQ done, image is clear and free. I'm terrible at thinking of hooks but you have done well. I'll complete a review soon. Do I sense more green men on the way? Whispyhistory (talk) 07:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Alt2 that two men who plotted to assassinate King George I were arrested in the Green Man public house in 1722? I note that the image is not the historic Green Man. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:52, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

. Copyvio issues are quotes. All hooks are good, in article and followed by inline citations. A fun read. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:13, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
