I am not Wikipedia Savvy enough to edit pages, but a major error on this page is that Cliveden Estate is most definitely in Buckinghamshire, not Berkshire. Cliveden borders the Thames, which is the border with Berkshire. Cliveden is on the east bank, clearly within Buckinghamshire.

I see where the confusion has arisen: Cliveden is in Taplow parish, which is in Buckinghamshire but has a postal address of Maidenhead, Berkshire. I'll amend the links accordingly. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 14:37, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. Dealing with the local council always involves starting with the same ten minutes of conversation, explaining that you really do live in Bucks even though you have a Berks. postcode, while they they check before doing any dealings with you. The villages of Taplow and Hedsor have this problem, as I am sure many others nearby do also.

Duke of Westminster

Anyone know when he bought the house? He only become Duke in 1874, so if he bought it before that, he bought it as Marquess. Petsco 08:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Info box

If this page must have an info box, does it really need to tell us that the place has parking, refeshments and a shop? It would be an odd sort of 5 star hotel if it did not serve refreshments, offer parking and try to sell something. Even so, this is information for a tourist/travel/advertising site - not Wikipedia.

My inclination would be to delete it all together as redundant. By the time one has scrolled down to it the relevant info has already been conveyed in the lead para (as a lead para should). And it looks ugly :) Nancy ^talk 19:37, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yerse, I agree, but one author has expanded the page, so his view should be listened to and given priority on this. I'm of the view that it's courteous to say the principal/main authors/maintainers want them they can have them. I've only looked in because something (not the info-box) caught my attention - nothing more. Giano 19:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clocktower??

The 100-foot (30 m)-tall clock tower, which is actually a water tower (still working to this day) was added in 1861 by the architect Henry Clutton. Then why is it shown in the 1851 picture of the second house? --76.105.145.143 (talk) 05:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
