Talk:Church of England parish church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As most CofE churches are notable in some way, I suggest that those listed here are only the very most notable of all, preferably only those given three, four or five stars in Jenkins' 'England's Thousand Best Churches' Verica Atrebatum 23:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

While I share your concern about the list growing too long, I think you are possibly applying a rather limited criterion in only considering the architecture of churches. And should we just be lifting from another work, or making our own judgement? So I'm adding a little bit of text to why (in my opinion - and I know it can be edited back out!) churches might be considered of interest, and adding a few examples.

What you've added looks good to me. I do feel some criteria need to be set in order to prevent overpopulation. I suggested Jenkins' book might help, largely because it is very widely available and pretty good at classifying what is notable. However, as you say, he is mostly interested in architecture and fittings, less so in location, modern or historical connections, etc. Let's see what other people think. There may not be a problem anyway. Verica Atrebatum 15:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
