The lead section needs expanding in line with WP:Lead. SilkTork * YES! 08:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
SilkTork has now made two attempts to change a sub-title away from "Lewes Bonfire" - which happens to be the correct title, used locally, nationally and internationally. "Lewes Bonfire" differs in many respects from "Bonfire Night", "Guy Fawkes Night" or other generic namings; it is a specific description, which is very well-known in its own right.
SilkTork has also changed the reference to the Fifth to "the Lewes Bonfire Night", which is not a description in common use anywhere. "Lewes Bonfire" is a term widely used; "Bonfire Night" or "Bonfire" are terms used within Lewes itself. In no case does the name take the definite article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Molly Mockford ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
This section should be moved/merged with that on Sussex Bonfire Societies, given that it deals with a specfic topic more suited to that article. ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 18:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
The recent changes by Will Karr have extended the coverage of Lewes into more extensive reporting on Lewes District Council politics - which already has its own page. He has also introduced political opinion and speculation on the nature of Lewes without any substantive evidence, which appears to be motivated by party political opinion. I base this on the fact that his editing of wiki pages started around the 2015 General Election and most of his work involves the creation of the wiki page for the newly elected Conservative MP for Lewes constituency. These changes should be mostly removed. PellsPool ( talk) 23:03, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Thinking of adding a section on where Lewes features in literature, mainly fiction but also significant items of non-fiction.
Good to know if there are other examples which migth be included as well. Rob at Pells ( talk) 15:55, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

With a number of authors having lived in or near Lewes, it features, explicitly or disguised in a number of books. Eve Garnett lived in Lewes and her The Family from One End Street series of children’s stories are set in 'Otwell-on-the-Ouse'. Matthew de Abaitua's dystopian novel If Then is set in a fictionalised Lewes. There are strong parallels with Lewes in the setting of Cliffe House which appears in a story called "Bloody Baudelaire", by R.B. Russell. The Collector by John Fowles is set near Lewes with the characters visiting the town, and the Roy Grace crime series by Peter James (writer) based in Brighton has scenes set in Sussex Police HQ based in Lewes.
Three novels by William Nicholson (writer) - The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life, All the Hopeful Lovers and Golden Hour - are based in Lewes and surrounding villages. "Three Round Towers" by Beverley Elphick is set in and around Lewes at the end of the 18th Century. [1] "Hope Cottage" by Julian Fane is about a family who swap their flat in London for their friends' cottage in Lewes for twelve months. [2]
Lewes also features in a range of works of non-fiction, but notable examples would include To The River by Olivia Laing which follows her walk along the River Ouse and the Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane (writer) features walks on the South Downs close to Lewes.
