Initial comments edit

Lead edit

The lead summarises the article well and meets the GA criteria and WP:LEAD. I would have suggested to change the opening sentence so that it reads out where Woodspring Priory is located, for example Woodspring Priory (originally Worsprynge or Worspring) is a former Augustinian priory situated in North Somerset or something similar to that. But the lead is fine.

History edit

Some parts of this section feel too trivial, however it won't affect the GAN. I noticed one for example "Major and Mrs Hill continued to own the priory until 1928" - how about something like "The Major and his wife"?
However the history section is informative, in depth and mostly well-written so this meets the GA criteria.

References edit

The first reference appears to be broken

Close - promoted edit

Despite some sentences in the article feeling trivial and a couple of references that lead to nowhere - I think that this article already meets the GA criteria. It is broad in coverage, mostly well-written and well referenced. Because the concerns I have listed aren't really that important I feel it won't be necessary to put this on hold, so I'll promote this one! Well done on another Somerset GA! ☠ Jaguar ☠ 11:46, 23 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
