Carlisle Castle keep
Hi Richard Nevell. Thanks for this edit to Carlisle Castle, adding the suggestion that the keep used to be taller. Do you have a source for this? I couldn't find it mentioned in source 3 or the McCarthy one in the additional reading, but haven't looked any further. --Northernhenge (talk) 15:36, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- It's from a lecture given by Stephen Brindle, an English Heritage Senior Properties Historian. There isn't a recording of it, so I may be bending WP:V a little here. Brindle's analysis is informed by McCarthy, but I think the conclusion that the keep was taller may be Brindle's. Richard Nevell (talk) 17:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Which is to say that if anyone wants to revert because it doesn't have a reference I would certainly understand. Richard Nevell (talk) 17:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. he mentions reducing the size on this website. It looks self-published, but better than nothing! --Northernhenge (talk) 13:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey
Hey Richard, why are you going around complaining about me? Why not just write to me and talk about it? I didn't know I did anything wrong, and if you had just talked to me, I would have fixed it.
You wrote to me on December 20th and I didn't respond. I'm sorry if that hurt you. Enhazaam (talk) 07:35, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ten days without a response seemed long enough. It would be helpful if you updated articles that you have edited to add attribution for translations as suggested at User talk:Enhazaam#Non-attributed translations. Richard Nevell (talk) 20:20, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Muslim migrations to Ottoman Palestine
Hello Richard Nevell,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Muslim migrations to Ottoman Palestine for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Muslim migrations to Ottoman Palestine to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Detached church towers
Morning Richard, and I hope the New Year finds you well. In the course of doing this little Start, St Mary's Church, Pembridge, I came across an interesting article published in Vernacular Architecture, for which I hope I've cited the doi correctly! What's particularly fascinating is that the authors challenge the traditional explanation for detached church towers as defensive in purpose - a view I've always held. They suggest that a more likely explanation might be structural, in that a tower, being taller, would settle further into the ground than the body of a church, and if attached might cause the church to fall down! [I've summarised the argument rather poorly]. I was wondering if you are aware of any more literature on this? I'd like to do a bit more reading up on it if possible. All the very best. KJP1 (talk) 10:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm, so the short answer is 'not directly' but I can think of two ways of approaching it. I don't recall coming across that particular explanation (though it is certainly interesting) but it brings to mind Michael Shapland's work. His 2019 book, Anglo-Saxon Towers of Lordship addresses free-standing towers. But the main focus is a couple of centuries earlier than St Mary's Church. As an intro, there's a recording of a talk he gave to the Society of Antiquaries.
- That's the Anglo-Saxon direction, the other is from the direction of castle studies. Will Wyeth's paper on motte towers is well worth a read and mentions St Mary's Pembridge as a comparison. It's a while since I read it closely (more years that I realised until just now), so I can't speak to the detail. Richard Nevell (talk) 10:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Richard - many thanks, for the above and for the material. Very much appreciated. I shall read it with interest. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 14:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
