I've had a go at rewording these but there are a limited number of ways to express technical architectural terms.—

You have acres converting into km2 at one point and into hectares at a different point. Is that intentional, due to the size difference?
Changed to hectares - no specific reason for the variation.—

There are a few honorifics which need stripping from the article per
WP:HONOR
I've taken of "The Reverend" but left in "Dr" as being relevant to the founding of a hospital and "Sir" as it differentiates Sir George Norton from his great-great-grandson, also George Norton.—

"It was possible to visit the house..." when could you do this? can you still?
I've added "In the middle of the 19th century" but it is not exactly clear from the source when. It was somewhere between their purchase around 1820 and their sale (around 1880). Access to the house is now possible as wedding & conference venue but the "old masters" are long gone.—

"The Miles family continued to occupy the house until 1917 when, in common with many such houses, it had become oversized for modern living;" do we have a source for this? It may be mentioned in one of the offline sources - but I'm just concerned about the possibility of OR.
It is from Cooke - I have added a ref.—

Harold Burden's use for the house seems to be mentioned twice in consecutive lines.
I have reworded a couple of sentences to explain the first bit is about his purchase for a hospital & the second is a bit about his previous work/qualification for the role.—

"was eventually restored to much of its former glory " - needs a bit of clarification, who by, when, what does it actually mean?
I has been since 2000 & I have removed some of the promotional guff I obviously missed before.—

REF5 has no page numbers - since the book is nearly 200 pages long, that's not great for a reference
I don't have a copy of this one, but have requested a library copy - will take a week or so to be delivered to my local branch.—

REF14,REF18, REF27 and REF29 are dead links
Archiveurls added
REF19 gives me a warning of malware - is there a better source you could use?
This was the old URL for
Glenside Museum but appears to have been hijacked. I have reused the Carpenter ref which covers the same info (in more detail).—

Rod, sorry about the delay. It's a great article, shouldn't take much to get it over the line :)

It's looking like I won't be around for a bit (not that I've been around recently anyway!) and since the only thing outstanding is lack of page numbers on one source, I'm going to pass this.
Rod, if you can make sure those page numbers are there when you get a chance, I'd appreciate it. Cheers.

Thanks - will do. I've had the notice to say the book has arrived at the local library but I've not had a chance to pick it up yet.—
