I believe that Bekonscot is run by the Church Army. Seeking confirmation before I put in the article. Phil 16:08, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)

Most of the article information was submitted by Grant James Gibson, a current employee of Bekonscot Ltd.

[edit] Oldest Model Village in the World?

According to another article in Wikipedia, Tiny Town in Colorado was founded in 1921. In a linked article Timmy Dunn says that Bekonscot was founded sometimes around the mid 1920. So which is really the oldest model village?

Well, I've just found a couple of references to back up Bekonscots' claim, one of which is from the BBC, so fairly reliable. _TalkIslander 01:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inspiration for Legoland Windsor

I find that a mighty peculiar assertion! Legoland Windsor is very obviously almost entirely taken from Legoland Billund, which has been around for years. It may be that orignal legoland was inspired by Bekonscot, but in the absence of any reference it's impossible to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki benguin (talk • contribs) 09:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
