Rename article? edit

Would Waltham Abbey Church be a better name? It's the title the church uses itself[1]. Waltham Abbey Abbey sounds a bit odd... Alansplodge (talk) 21:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

The last abbey? edit

I have added {{citation needed}} to the claim that Waltham Abbey was the last abbey to be dissolved. I actually think it was, but this kind of claim needs an explicit citation: even if we had a list of dissolutions by date (and I don't think we have), deducing this from such a list would be original research. (Note: I have just removed a similar, but clearly false, claim from Hartland Abbey). --ColinFine (talk) 18:11, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

My mistake: we have got such a list, but it lists only the year of dissolution, not the date. It is also very incompletely referenced. --ColinFine (talk) 18:16, 2 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
