Since I was brought up just a few miles aay, I was surprised to see the chapel I had always known as St. Catherine's referred to as St. Cathrene's I assume was a typo, especially since the section heading had a similar error ( "...Intrest" for "...Interest" )

BTW St. Catherine's chapel is clearly visible in the centre of the view used in the article about the Chesil Beach

Abbotsbury is not made up "entirely of old stone cottages, many of them thatched". There are several new build stone cottages, and at least one 1930s townhouse (as of May 2006). The impression of the village created by looking down Rodden Row is a little midleading, although it is certainly an attractive village overall. Cravenmonket 07:35, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The link for King Canute's aide, Orca, directs to a page about, umm, orca... While I think Killer Whales are lovely and intelligent, I'm not convinced that one established a community in south Dorset in the 11th Century. Also, disambiguation is not helpful for this link, since there is no Orca (the person) article. Removed the link. Cravenmonket 07:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
