Din Guardi has appeared in at least two articles I know of (this one included) without proper references. I'm from the area and I have never heard of Bamburgh having ever been called "Din Guardi". Most of the locals won't know that either. I've never seen it on any of the small info signs around the castle, either. Although I haven't been to the castle since November ('07).
Therefore, I would ask that Din Guardi have references cited for it for it, or be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.136.141.247 ( talk) 19:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I recommend the removal of the large intrusive map which contains hardly any information, and if clicked, shows even less, not more. The map constitutes what should be a simple link, i.e. by clicking the co-ordinates, the reader can bring up a dozen maps, all far better than that one. Moreover the map, eing large and undetailed, simply takes up right-side space that is the best place for photos. Amandajm ( talk) 02:57, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Why do we say, uncommented, that it is a "Plan of Bamborough Castle in 1825"? Surely it is equally a "Plan of Bamburgh Castle in 1825"? Or are we trying to make a particular point about this name and that date? If so, we're failing - it is contextless. I'd like to suggest that we either modernise the spelling, or explain why we're using the old one. Please don't just quote faithfulness to the source back at me. I understand that, but it is not my point. Thanks DBaK ( talk) 09:32, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
This source states that it was after the Dissolution, in 1541; this is not mentioned in the Wiki article.
It was the time of Henry VIII’s infamous Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536-7). The Abstract of the Title to Bamburgh Castle at Woodhorn Archive confirms that in April 1541 ”A Lease by Indenture from King |Henry VIII to John Forster of Etherstone of the scite of the late cell of Bamburgh and other Herediments therein” mentioned for 21 years at a rent of 37 pounds 10 shillings and 4 pence. https://bamburghbones.org/skulldugerous-knight-sir-john-forster/
Another source confirms Forster's acquisition:
16th century With the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII Bamburgh church and its lands were sold to Sir John Forster and thereafter was neglected. http://www.staidan-bamburgh.co.uk/history_heritage.html
