Lede

"was constructed by the abbot between 1322 and 1335 " -do we have a name for the abbot?

Either Walter of Taunton or Adam of Sodbury from the dates but not sourced as far as I can find.— Rod ^talk 13:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Some restoration has been undertaken during the 20th century." -perhaps be more specific here.

Added a bit about the new roof in the 1920s.— Rod ^talk 13:52, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History

Glastonbury Lake Village -no article? All capital letters seems strange.

Glastonbury Lake Village wikilinked. I'm not sure what you mean re all caps.— Rod ^talk 13:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"The fish house is now in the care of English Heritage" -since when?

They took it over from the ministry of works when that ceased to exist in the 1980s - but state ownership/guardianship since 1911.— Rod ^talk 13:52, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Further down you state 1884 for the fire, why not be more specific in the history too?

English Heritage says 1854, but a newspaper report published in Sept 1885 reports the fire (could be the annual meeting so could have been late 1884).— Rod ^talk 13:52, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture

Anything about the inner roof beams?

Nothing thast I've seen - but constructed in 1920s.— Rod ^talk 13:55, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency witrh the 1826 plan[edit]

The central arched door visible in the interior illustration of the text doesn't appear in the 1826 plan (illustration at right): a conjectural restoration made after the fire? Should the text reflect the discrepency?--Wetman (talk) 18:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
