I am nominating this for featured list because...it is a companion to the featured lists List of new churches by John Douglas and List of church restorations, amendments and furniture by John Douglas. Its lead is similar to the other lists, suitably modified for this list of houses. The table is similar apart from one major change: as the proportion of images is less than the other lists, they have been included in a separate strip, rather than integrated as a column within the list, in order to avoid too much white space.

*Comment: I would like to see a key added for the article, to distinguish between I and II, as well as the three colors. It's mentioned in one of the paragraphs, but that can be turned into the key, as at 5 paragraphs the lead is quite lengthy (the two final ones could be combined afterwards.

Support and follow-up Thanks for making these changes, and for your other clarifications. I have made two edits: one on Eaton Boat, where my original comment had a typo which rendered it meaningless (sorry!)—I have changed "they" to "these"; and one addition of coordinates. My technique for finding coordinates, in the absence of accurate grid references or other data to base these on, is a bit time-consuming but usually works in the end: using the Images of England photo and address description (or any other available address info), I search on Google Maps satellite view for the building. I did this for Abbotsford and found it on a small lane off Warrington Road. Obviously it helps if the building has a distinctive roofline, and it can get frustrating! You can then confirm the coordinates by converting them back into a grid reference and comparing them with a map or with the basic coordinates given on the IoE listing. (For IoE listings where the full grid reference is quoted, which is usually the case in Sussex, I convert that into coordinates using www.nearby.org.uk) This might help with West Lodge and Green Farmhouse. I accept your rationale for demolished buildings and the lack of definitive evidence. The rewritten sentence in the lead looks much clearer; everything else is fine as well. Hope you can find the other two coordinates I referred to, but it's not a problem if you can't. Support accordingly – Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 17:48, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
