Sources edit

In creating this article, it is possible that I have used material that I have derived from published works other than those I have cited or from archival sources. I appreciate strictly that constitutes WP:OR, but what I have produced does have good sources. Which is better, an accurate article based on all sources or an incomplete one based only on bpulihsed ones? Peterkingiron 15:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Anachronism edit

The article states:

It was probably built for Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester in the 1590s, but reverted to the Crown on his attainder, and was then let to Sir Henry Wallop.

This is surely incorrect. The Earl died in 1588 and his peerage became extinct with him. He was never attainted under Elizabeth I to whom he was a favourite for most of her reign. It wasn't possibly Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (beheaded 1601) who WAS attainted, and whose family were already landowners in Herefordshire? I have put a citation need at the end of the sentence in relation to Sir Henry Wallop being the lettee from the crown. To further complicate, a check with the archived article on Bringewood Forge that is listed among the references states it was in existence as early as 1584, which WAS in the lifetime of Leicester but the article does not name its then owners.
