Thank you, Steinsky for the useful changes that you made. I think I understand the rationale of all of them except two:

  1. Why delete the refrence to the skittle alley, which is a substantial material feature of the pub in much the same way that the chapel is an important part of the church?
  2. Why break the link to Temperance Hall, given the importance of the nineteenth century Temperance movement and the significance of such buildings in village life until the 1920s?

I deleted the link to Temperance Hall because I was unsure whether it was notable enough for an encyclopedia entry, if you believe it is and wish to reinstate the link I will not argue against that.
As for the pub, I deleted the details because it doesn't seem at all notable enough to be in an encyclopedia--there must be over a thousand pubs in Dorset, possibly hundreds have skittle alleys, it's all pretty much the same. The chapel is apparently unique and has a history, and is therefore notable enough to be in an encyclopedia.
