Although the postal address given on the website for Highclere Castle ends with Newbury, Berkshire, this is the address of the Estate Office. Highclere House itself is in Hampshire, a couple of miles south of the Hants/Berks border.Mighty Antar23:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article mentions "Carnarvon" only as a title, which is possessed by one person at a time, the earl. Shouldn't the family be referred to as the "Herbert family"?Monomoit (talk)16:57, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Arch. Dig. notwithstandingsetting (narrative) is the sense implied by "the main setting for the British television period dramaDownton Abbey", and the setting (whether main or exclusive) ofDownton Abbey is a fictional castle called "Downton Abbey". It is not for me to tellAD what they should do, so for now i withhold my opinion on that. But when it appears in WP in the context just stated,we must distinguish between "setting" andFilming location.
Fixing accordingly.

This is apparently vandalism. "fyou" is in only one dictionary, the Urban Dictionary, with the obvious meaning. I'm deleting it. If you know that this is some obscure local term, then you need to add it to the article and explain it. But as a stand-alone, it's inappropriate.Tweedly-dee (talk)01:50, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
A plan of thepiano nobile, that is to say the plan of the main floor, would greatly enhance this article. --Cantabwarrior 23:01, 2 April 2014 (UTC)— Precedingunsigned comment added byCantabwarrior (talk •contribs)

(italics added only to emphasise that in my question:) I don't know if it's because I'm going on two days without sleep, and my thinking is skewed, but whatever, I can't/don't understand what this means, exactly:"what does, ..."presented the living" .. mean? From the article in this sentence below (emphasis mine) Thanks in advance:

I added the phrasing 'gained international fame as the main location for the drama series Downton Abbey (2010-15) and the 2019 film based on it'.Wire723 changed to 'became more widely known'. A few refs, most of which I've now added to the article:
I think 'international fame' is justified?TSP (talk)00:10, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@TSP: Thanks for starting this discussion rather than simply reverting.Wire723 (talk)14:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For me this huge table has a number of issues:
Would there be any objections to a trimming? I appreciate Downton is important to the house, and article, I’d almost suggest a separate, prose, section on that.KJP1 (talk)10:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"In 1551 during the English Reformation King Edward VI confiscated the property from the Church of England.[6]"
This is very likely to be factually incorrect. During the Reformation property was confiscated from the Catholic Church not the Church of England. The author appears to have misinterpreted the statement in the link.2A00:23C8:4185:5F01:7513:D3F4:9F78:F3B7 (talk)16:33, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
