Talk:Netley Abbey

message: It seems there is a problem with the opening times - User:Mathguin has discovered that not only have English Heritage recently tightly restricted access on a temporary basis due to vandalism of the buildings, but also the current (temporary) times don't match those given on the abbey's official site. As the situation is in a state of flux I am going to amend the article to say merely that the abbey is open to the public but not when. Soph (talk) 18:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Opening times

message: You'll get fed up with my suggestions soon I expect, but chancing my arm once again I have another. The article ought to be consistsent in its naming of centuries; sometimes it's fifteenth century, sometimes it's 15th century, for instance. I prefer to use the numbers—15th century—but whatever you choose you ought to stick with it all through the article. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 21:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thankyou for doing this extra review and for all the other help you've given. In order on your points:
* (i) yep, you are right, that sentence is rubbish and ungrammatical. Now fixed
* (ii) Quite so, I have revised and extended the intro. I hope it will be better now.
* (iii) Thank you so much for doing that onerous task for me. It's very helpful, not just for Netley, having seen how you did and comparing to my saved version I can see how you did it and now understand how the templates work. re page numbers: Pink's excavation report in Collectanea Archaeologica is the excavation report for the abbey (it's never been properly excavated in modern times). Unfortunately, it's a very rare book, I've read it, but I don't have access to the copy I used at the moment and my University library doesn't have it. The British Library does have a copy, but until I can get back there again I've resolved the problem by deleting the one direct reference and redirecting the other to the excavation history on Pastscape (National Monuments Record). I've left it in the bibliography because it is important. The other two cites missing page numbers aren't mine. I'll try to contact the original editors if I can work out who they are and see if they'll help with putting them in (I've never read either book), if there's no response, after 10 days I suggest deleting the facts and cites as they aren't particularly relevant to the main thrust of the article, they are just minor detail.
* (iv) That wasn't the Britannica. I've fixed it by moving it to the external links as the picture of the folly made of the north transept might be useful to readers
 
* (v) Done now.
* (vi) Done as well.

message: Not worth a mention?  It is just across the way from the abbey and had a similar history in that it underwent decline, became a romantic ruin, etc. . 86.137.138.235 (talk) 07:28, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps as a link in a see also section, but while it was also abandoned and became a romantic ruin it was abandoned for different reasons and I don't see any mention of a link with the abbey in the pastscape page. Nev1 (talk) 12:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Netley Castle 'was probably commenced in 1544 or 1545 by Lord St John, later 1st Marquess of Winchester.' Netley Abbey: 'Following the dissolution of Netley, on 3 August 1536,[1] King Henry granted the abbey buildings and some of its estates to Sir William Paulet,[40] his Lord Treasurer and subsequently Marquess of Winchester.' (ref: taken from the Wiki page)  ie two buildings were part of the same estate held by the Marquess of Winchester. So it seems the Marquess got the abbey estate and shortly afterwards started building the fort (Netley Castle) on some of its land.86.159.192.118 (talk) 14:43, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

message: re: Martinevans123's query about the misericord at Netley.  It's not a mistake, as well as the more well-known choir seat, misericord was also the term used in the later middle ages for the room where monks could dine on meat dishes not allowed in the main refectory under the usual interpretations of monastic rules. While meat dishes had always been allowed to the elderly, children, guests and the sick, the monks' communal meals were supposed to be sparse and mostly vegetarian, but from the 14th century, the privelege of eating meat dishes was gradually extended until virtually everyone was eating the forbidden food in a room set aside for it, served by a seperate kitchen from the main one (usually connected to the infirmary), thus keeping the letter, but not the spirit of the rules. Use of the word makes sense, both were allievations of the burden of the rules, whether the duty of standing for long hours in a freezing church, or of eating a mostly vegetarian diet.
I used the word in the Netley article because it's used for the room in the discussion of that part of the building in the cited source (the official government publication on the ruins) and there isn't a better modern term. Soph (talk) 16:04, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Lots of good information and images. The first part still has an odd query sentence.
Looks like faeriesoph and malleus have done the heavy lifting.
