[edit] John Clayton and Hadrian's Wall

I'll put this same message on the talk pages of three articles: Hadrian's Wall Path, Hadrian's Wall and John Clayton (Newcastle).

I was looking at the article about the Path, and found the section on John Clayton, which isn't really about the path, being connected with the preservation and study of the wall. I looked at the article on the Wall, which mentioned very little about it post-Hadrian. I looked for text about John Clayton, and managed to convince myself that the John Clayton (Newcastle) is the antiquarian as well as town clerk, though it wasn't mentioned on his page!

I've moved the "John Clayton" section from Path to Wall (untouched but for making a lot more links in it and correcting the artist's name in the image), and added a mention of the antiquarian stuff to the JC(N) article, but I think there probably needs to be a lot more about this aspect of his life in that article. No time to take it further now, and not many sources to quote (he isn't in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography), but there's a piece here [[1]] which confirms his importance (and, by matching death date, seems to confirm that he's the right John C and not a different generation).

I'll try and get back to this some time, but (a) I hope I haven't trodden on any toes and (b) I'll be delighted if someone else picks this up and helps to sort out the info about John Clayton into the right article. PamD (talk) 12:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
