Talk:Highclere Castle

message: Although the postal address given on the website for Highclere Castle ends with Newbury, Berkshire, this is the address of the Estate Office. Highclere House itself is in Hampshire, a couple of miles south of the Hants/Berks border. Mighty Antar 23:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: More to the point, postal addresses don't tell you which county a house is in, only which county the post town (which can be some distance away) is in.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.147.36 (talk) 16:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

message: The article mentions "Carnarvon" only as a title, which is possessed by one person at a time, the earl.  Shouldn't the family be referred to as the "Herbert family"?  Monomoit (talk) 16:57, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Arch. Dig. notwithstanding setting (narrative) is the sense implied by "the main setting for the British television period drama Downton Abbey", and the setting (whether main or exclusive) of Downton Abbey is a fictional castle called "Downton Abbey". It is not for me to tell AD what they should do, so for now i withhold my opinion on that. But when it appears in WP in the context just stated, we must distinguish between "setting" and Filming location.   Fixing accordingly.--Jerzy•t 04:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

message: This is apparently vandalism.  "fyou" is in only one dictionary, the Urban Dictionary, with the obvious meaning.  I'm deleting it.  If you know that this is some obscure local term, then you need to add it to the article and explain it.  But as a stand-alone, it's inappropriate.

message: (italics added only to emphasise that in my question:) 
I don't know if it's because I'm going on two days without sleep, and my thinking is skewed, but whatever, I can't/don't understand what this means, exactly:
"what does, ..."presented the living" .. mean? From the article in this sentence below (emphasis mine) Thanks in advance:
:"In 1680 Sir Robert Sawyer presented the living of Highclere to the Rev. Isaac Milles (1638–1720), the elder, who remained there till his death. White Oak was the parsonage where Milles took pupils, including the many children of Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke, by marriage the new proprietor of Highclere. "

replies: text: That's a good question.  I think the word or phrase is uncommon enough that it needs a definition in the article. There is an article: on Advowson — a term related to the idea of being presented. - Hollarbohem (talk) 03:16, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: What does this mean?

message: For me this huge table has a number of issues:
:* It is almost completely uncited - 1 in the whole table, and that a bare url;
:* Its got embedded urls leading to a non-RS site, IMDb;
:* It’s very detailed and with masses of over-linking - Dame Maggie Smith has three.
Would there be any objections to a trimming? I appreciate Downton is important to the house, and article, I’d almost suggest a separate, prose, section on that. KJP1 (talk) 10:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
