| This came up on the administrators' noticeboard because of a huge edit war. I decided to have a go at it. But I've only done one of the apparently two churches by that name. The article could stand to have more on the second church, I think. So (after consulting my talk page archives to remind me who that person interested in U.K. churches was) here I am. ☺ ] (]) 08:07, 7 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| : Hi and thanks for the heads-up <s>but I need a little more context here. Where within the Admin' noticeboard is this 'huge edit war'?</s> I can see in the history a reversion battle occurring between {{User|Logistics Speaker}} and {{User|Gwenlen}}; one trying to promote a feature film and the other trying to prevent said promotion. To be honest though, I reduced my Misplaced Pages input due to similar huge battles in the past so I'm not really wanting to get into that stuff again. | |||

| ::It's ], and you need not worry about the edit warriors. They've all had their account editing privileges revoked, and the edit war was over what is really, once one considers what an encyclopaedia article ''should'' be telling readers, only a very minor thing. Architecture, history, and geography are far more important to this article than whether someone on the WWW has just made a spooky movie. Misplaced Pages is supposed, after all, to be a proper encyclopaedia. Which is, of course, why I'd like to obtain and write more about the replacement church in the village centre, and probably work in things about the rectors if that turns out to be appropriate.<p>I'll have a look at what you cite, as much as is accessible to me; although if that 1908 one is by ] it's already used in the article. That's good stuff, though. I will, despite your protestations, continue to remember you as someone to consult about churches and villages in the U.K.. Locality, by the way, is relative.

| * There is no ''which'' as I believe ''patronage'' is "The right of presenting a member of the clergy to a particular ecclesiastical benefice or living" (] ''n'' 1.) and the title "''Earl'' de grey" is a ] so is only held by one (in this case male) person until becoming extinct on the death of the last holder dying without issue.

| *** What a fascinating story. I'm intrigued by ]'s decision to build a new church, in what is a very small community (pop. 1,066 in ), based (in part, I assume) on the two documented enquiries in 1827 and 1839 (). I also note that, according to Church Plans On-line, the new church was built between 1848–50 under the ] and then approval was granted for renovation between 1961–62 under the ]. Incidentally, the 1848–50 build cost of £2,300 equates to a present day (2010) value of £1,580,000 (). Truly fascinating --<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">] (])</span> 11:53, 10 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ****The £2,300 includes glazing, erecting the tower and nave, mortar, roofing (including purchase of lead), purchase, transport and cutting of Portland stone, purchase of pitch pine and oak, construction of flooring, ceiling, pews, pulpit and doors, moving bells and lych gate from the old church, drainage, landscaping of the churchyard, architect's fees and labour. Agricultural labourers in 1845 earned 2 shillings a week, so taking that as a base level, and assuming twenty unskilled labourers worked on the church for two years, the wage bill would have been £208. The price of lead in 1836 was £24 a ton and declining; estimating a weight of 30 tons, (Bere Regis church used 52 tons in 1628 for its roof) and a price of £18 gives a cost of £540. The figure of £2,300 seems a bit cheap. ] (]) 14:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ****You noticed the name of the 1958 chapel, then? There's probably a little more to say on the subject of the rebuild decision. There's certainly more to say on the rectors over the years, which anyone reading this is welcome to add. An article like this ''should'' be fascinating, I think. It's doing its job if a reader like you comes across it and sees more than "run-down ruin that was the subject of a fad in the 1960s and 1970s". ] (]) 14:44, 10 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ***** '''Ning-ning''': My goodness! Your attention to detail puts me to shame. Was that financial costs detail from "The Ecclesiastical gazette ..." (1850)? If so, are those Gazette's available on-line? I could use that kind of information in future --<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">] (])</span> 17:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ***** '''Uncle G''': "... anyone reading this ..."—there's only you me and Ning-ning. Anyway, it's you who is making it fascinating. A superb article. I do feel that the decision to build the new church seems like a prime example of ] gone mad and almost (but not of course by definition) a ] --<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">] (])</span> 17:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ******'''Senra''': no, sorry, I just entered a few search terms like "price of lead in 1850". All very approximate! I suppose the decision to build a new church could have been justified by its position on the flat next to the village, and not on a hill. Imagine walking up Old Church Path on a wet windy day in a crinoline, and sliding down afterwards. ] (]) 19:25, 10 December 2012 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, sorry for not replying sooner. I personally still think that this should qualify as a good article, but to tell you the truth it's been so long since I reviewed/wrote anything properly for Misplaced Pages, I suspect the standard of GA went up to an "almost a featured article" standard (I must have missed that memo), so I'm probably not the best person. I suppose what would be good is to see if the issues brought up in the original GA nomination can be fixed and then have another go at nominating it and see what another reviewer thinks, as I think the assessment was probably a little over expectant for a GA, at least at the time.
