Nominator(s): HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This follows the success of Grade I listed buildings in Coventry. Some things are a little different—for example, the images are down the side rather than in the table because there are fewer of them and ancient monuments are less photogenic (several are now just patches of grass), but the two lists are very similar. Also, note the lack of "list of", as "schedule" and "list" in this context are synonymous, so the prefix would be redundant in my opinion. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Comments Picky, and probably personal, but I'd prefer "There are ten..." rather than "There are 10..." Agree, done. Is there not an image for each monument we could use in the table? No. Only of the ones that already have images down the right-hand side. Many of the rest are difficult or not worth photographing—for example Allesley castle is a mound of earth and the two moated sites aren't much more than patches of grass (one with concrete over it). HJ Mitchell \| Penny for your thoughts? 18:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply] What's the default sorting order for this table? Erm, good question, I'm not entirely sure. Changed to alphabetical.

As far as I can work out, he doesn't have any notable connection with the site or the area, he was just a wealthy gentleman who purchased the site.

Support a nice list which meets my understanding of the criteria, and, as always, comments dealt with in good faith. Great work. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support superb list, meets the criteria. NapHit (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support no concerns here. Consider archiving your references with archive.org or webcitation.org so that changes in websites don't mess up your sourcing, but that's optional. --Pres N 19:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

~~"Like several of the other monuments in the city, the Coventry's city walls...". Don't think Conventry should have the 's in front of it here.~~
- Fixed
~~Images could use alt text.~~ Giants2008 (Talk) 19:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
