Article was 5x expanded (1282 -> 6593 readable prose), is neutral, and well sourced. No significant problems detected by earwig; there's a few phrases duplicated from biographi.ca/en/bio/price_james_hervey_11E.html, but most are unavoidable (names of things), and the rest are short enough not to be of concern). Any of the hooks seem acceptable, but the first is the best. QPQ done. Image is PD and works fine at 100x100. --

Z1720, would you be okay with a tweak to your hook? Right now, it sounds like his childhood home was north of Toronto. How about "... that James Hervey Price(pictured) built a house called Castlefield north of Toronto that resembled his English childhood home?
