Talk:Farleigh Hungerford

Civil War

I have tidied up this section a little, and added some information. The Hungerfords were not lords at this time. Sir Edward Hungerford (d. 1648) commanded the Parliamentarian forces only briefly, but was ineffective and was effectively replaced by William Waller. The "later Lord Hungerford" originally referred to was presumably Sir Edward Hungerford (1632-1711), last of the male line and son of Anthony Hungerford (1607-1657), half brother of Sir Edward (d. 1648). As Anthony was a staunch royalist, and his son was only born in 1632, I assume the references to Sir Edward junior's parliamentarianism are either conflations with the actions of his uncle, or prompted by his election to Parliament under Richard Cromwell. Either way, I think that simply referring to the latter fact is less tenuous. I have also added that this Sir Edward sold the castle in 1686. Alex Craven (talk) 03:21, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. Some of this "tidying" would also be appropriate at Farleigh Hungerford Castle.— Rod ^talk 08:25, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I'll get around to it, but right now I'm just focusing on Wiltshire articles. Cut and paste? --Alex Craven (talk) 04:11, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Local gov district and constituency

I've changed the local government districts in the infobox from BANES to Mendip/Somerset, and also the constituency from North East Somerset to Somerton & Frome. The village is just (admittedly only just) inside the county boundary - checked on the OS maps, and also confirmed by the Norton St Philip parish council website. Also changed the category accordingly. DavidWard ^talk 21:36, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
