Assessment Report

Article needs to be massively expanded using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
It should make use of sections, using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
Infobox to be added (use Template:Infobox UK place.)
Photos need to be added.
References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

Saignton

I have an old book, The Nations at War, published in 1917 in America about the ongoing Great War. It has a photo of "wounded soldiers in the American hospital at Saignton, (sic) England". Two questions: was there a war hospital in Saighton during the Great War, and is saignton just a typo? Google throws up enough results for saignton to suggest that it was a popular variant spelling in the days when anybody had cause to talk about the town, perhaps because the two names sound similar and saignton sounds like saint something. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As one of the deleted edits points out, they both sound a bit like "satan". The Nations at War was written by an American author, so perhaps he misheard. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
