Talk:Kings Norton

message: Maybe it would be useful to add some stuff about Kings Norton in the Civil War? For example: the skirmish on the village green between  Lord Willoughby's parliamentarians and Prince Rupert's troops is of interest. (17th October 1642)
Also, the story about Queen Henrietta Maria staying there (maybe in the Saracen's Head) while the army she'd raised in Yorkshire camped on land behind the church (Camp Lane gets its name from this). 
The Old Grammar School and the Saracen's Head are mentioned in the main Birmingham article, but not here!
The Mop Fair could be worth a mention: held from the 16th century.

message: Please can we lovers of King's Norton get the spelling right. It is named after the King's Norton; it therefore was something that belonged to the King. So please its King's not Kings!!

replies: text: There is no apostrophe in Kings Norton, per    . This article explains the history of the spelling and the dropping of the apostrophe from current usage. Cheers, DWaterson 23:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  In fact the market charter refers to 'kingsnorton' without an apostrophe (or indeed a space).  As this was signed by King James I suggest that we take his arbitration on it.  Duncan (talk) 15:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct spelling please.......... 

message: This needs to be merged with another section in the article, otherwise it will start becoming an exhaustive list of non-notable groups in the Kings Norton area. It is difficult enough to work out the importance of the organisations already listed. - Erebus555 (talk) 16:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

message: "the Green contains three later medieval building from the 15th century, the Old Grammar School, the Saracen's Head...two of these ancient buildings..."
Is there a third building missing from the list, or should the above be edited to something like "the Green contains two later medieval buildings from the 15th century: the Old Grammar School and the Saracen's Head, which won the second series of the BBC's Restoration competition in 2004" ?

thread_title:  How many C15 buildings? 

message: I think that article would be better as a section in this article, since I do not think it passes the criteria for notability in its own right.  Comments? Willplatts (talk) 17:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. I'm not sure it's even notable enough to merge into here - AFD might be a better destination. DWaterson (talk) 21:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Disagree.  Sorry, I don't think its significant enough locally to be mentioned.  If we merge the article here we open ourselves to either domination of the article by a single organisation or a list of every organisation in the area...  The KNRBLYMB article should stand or fall by itself.  Duncan (talk) 19:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I think we need to look at refreshing the article given the considerable new info from this book.  I'll try and incorporate stuff over the next few weeks, but if anyone else want a go... Duncan (talk) 09:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
