Comments[edit]

This is my first page, I know I need to make this a stub now as I understand it. Please bear with me.

I have added a small amount of further information to the article although it is still a stub. why I have put that it is believed to have been built by Bishop Strickland is there is now a debate amongst historians that Strickland built the Hutton Hall Pele Tower in Penrith town centre instead but so far no conclusions have been reached

Images[edit]

Even though the article has been substantially augmented, I still cannot see how it really needs four images. Although they are good ones. _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 16:20, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The angles with File:Exterior of present-day ruins of Penrith Castle, 2008.jpg and File:Penrith Castle in autumn.JPG are similar enough that I think we might just need one of the two. The historic view is worth keeping for historic value and the image currently at the top of the article offers a different view. Nev1 (talk) 17:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The Autumnal pic is far more artistic, but for the purpose of illustrating the actual ruins, it is taken from a lot further away- focusing on leaves rather than the castle. So I'd !vote, remove the Autumn one, and keep the 2008 picture. If the article were fatter of course I suppose it wouldn't matter so much. But it aint. So it does. _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 17:20, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right then, I've gone ahead and removed it. Nev1 (talk) 00:07, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good move! Cheers _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 20:52, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
