Overall: copyvio <23%, sweet story that will be quite entertaining. Lots of sources except Lear's biography by Peter Levi [1].I can't see anything obvious missing. Some references say it was 'said' or 'legend has it' about the villa being made the same to avoid Foss becoming confused. Whispyhistory (talk) 11:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Whispyhistory. Good find on that new source (Levi), I have incorporated some new information into the article. The relatively high copyvio percentage is because of the quoted poem - Dumelow (talk) 12:55, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
