I just thought i should let you know, all the sections of this article pertaining to Anglo-Saxon times (namely the info on the location and proceedings of the councils of Clofesho) are either wrong, highly outdated, or not very good.

I would suggest re-writing the whole part on the councils of Clofesho under a seperate article, as the attribution of Cliffe-at-Hoo as being the Anglo-Saxon place Clofesho was argued against in the sixteenth century, and pretty much disproven by the seventeenth century. Today, virtually no scholar would uphold this attribution or line of argument.


[edit] Title

Can we change the substantive title to Cliffe, Kent- and just do a redirection from Cliffe-at-Hoo, because everyone, including the Parish Council calls it Cliffe. It is Cliffe on the 1842 OS map. Precedent is that all Medway villages are referred to as 'Village, Kent'.

Alternatively, we can leave the Clofesho bit on the Cliffe-at-Hoo page and put the undisputed facts on the Cliffe, Kent page. This is my preference.

If there are no good reasons to the contrary I will do that in a couple of weeks time. ClemRutter 20:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Clofesho has moved to the Councils of Clovesho. The rest of the article is at Cliffe, Kent with a link to Councils of Clovesho. The redirection from Cliffe-at-Hoo has been set up. Redirections from Clovesho and Cloveshoo. This fixes the comment above. ClemRutter 23:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
