Hello Mick Knapton:

I think that a complete reversion of the content was a little much. I did improve the style and mechanics of the article in my previous edits. I restored your adjectives (e.g. magnificent), although I generally disagree with making articles sound like tour guides, but I put the copyediting back. --Barfooz (talk) 02:16, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Haunting

[edit]

The comment below was moved to Talk from the main article by User:MortimerCat (talk)

Having visited the castle today 29th October 2006 It is reputed to be haunted. There appeared to be a a dark figure stood at a gateway looking at me, near the garden. Could this be the drummer boy? 23:31, 29 October 2006 User:Davidmowbray (talk)

Richmond Castle Plate

[edit]

We inherited a "Richmound Castle Plate" and I was woundering if you can give me any information about it. It is about 11x12 round includes the top crown. The border of the plate is green with gold highlights. In the centre of the plate is a picture of the castle and infront of it is a village and bridge with people on it. This plate was given to us in Malta and my inlaws had it for at least 60 years. Thank you for taking the time to review this and hope you get back to me. Julia Atkin e-mail: wjatkins@sympatico.ca

Richmond 16

[edit]

I'm a volunteer with the Durham at War project researching conscientious objectors and those shot at dawn. Please would someone look again at the link for Charles E Cryer? When I clicked on the link it said he was from Cleveland Ohio. After checking on Ancestry I think he is from Cleveland, North Yorkshire (Guisborough way). Just thought it looked strange and may not be right.

Looks like just a problem with the link destination. I have changed it to point to Cleveland, England. Keith D (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Date of grant of Richmondshire to Alan Rufus

[edit]

According to the Registry of the Honour of Richmond, King William I granted Yorkshire lands belonging to Earls Edwin and Morcar "at the siege of York", i.e. around winter in late 1068 or early 1069. It also claims that Queen Matilda persuaded William to make this grant to Alan Rufus. Tradition has it that she was at Selby in South Yorkshire in September 1068, giving birth to her son Henry (the future King Henry I). Zoetropo (talk) 11:28, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
