- Good length. Well sourced. Hook verified, appropriate. One minor concern - the History section seems to consist mainly of quotes (from PD sources) but these are not indicated as quotes in any way - suggest "" as the simplest. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:41, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- But doesn't copying old text negate the DYK rule that prose has to be new?--Esemono (talk) 03:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

- As this is a new article, are there at least 1500 characters of new (unique to Wikipedia) text? Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:08, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've now paraphrased the sections that were copied from Samuel Lewis. Please re-review. Moswento (talk | contribs) 10:09, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Taking paraphrasing at good faith and looking at the previous reviews: "Good length. Well sourced. Hook verified, appropriate." looks good to go. Hook is supported by a 2011 BBC article "It's believed to be the cloister wall of the abbey, built in 1282." -- Esemono (talk) 12:50, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
