I used Google to find " Pitshanger Manor" and found 674 matches. I also checked "Pitzhanger Manor" and found 640 matches. Both spellings are in use, but Pitshanger is more common, so this article has the wrong name. Ogg 12:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
PM Gallery & House, Ealing's flagship cultural venue, comprises of the Grade I listed Pitzhanger Manor-House, designed by the architect John Soane in 1800 and PM Gallery, West London's premier professional contemporary arts venue.
This has been fully and thoughly researched already and explained in the article. So just as Liza Minnelli sings -it's with a Z
With two places and several organizations having similarly spelt names it would be expected that 'some' people would get confused but more than 50%? I thought this seems highly improbable. So here are my search result performed on 2010-04-26.

Well, the council planing office has made a few typo errors (which is not unfair to the typists as they would be dealing with the area of Pitshanger most of the time) and advertising agents appear to have erred by checked their clients submission against the gazetteer. The remaining occurrences appear to be few and far between and could also be proof readers errors rather than those of the writers. Buried in those results could also be people referring to the actual 'sub-manor' of Pitshanger which had a farm house rather than a Manor house. From now on any attempts to maintain and spread this confusion will be seen as being against the spirit of WP and so will be removed as vandalism.-- Aspro ( talk) 11:30, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
The line which reads:
In 1940 a reading room was added, sympathetically designed on the site of the servant wing. suggests that in
1940 the councils attitude was:-
“
Street Shelter? Oh how passé, all the urburn district councils are building them -by the dozen! I know, why don't we build a nice new reading room for the library. After working sixteen-hour shifts in the factories, our ratepayers might like to relax with a few chapters of Ulysses... or perhaps a little Proust. We could ask that nice
Mr Morrison to send over some of his special tables so they can safely sit under them instead -if the Luftwaffe do come.”
This info in this line really needs to be checked at some time.--

I think my only sin was to link this in with the Ealing template. This may not be the aforesaid reading room, it wouldn't surprise me if that were an attitude of the time, but its source should be referenced. Wasn't Ulysses (novel) still banned then? Kbthompson 13:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)The 1940 lending library building on the site of Soane's mock Roman ruins is now the PM Gallery. Soane's ornamental gardens and parkland, including his bridge, entrance arch and lodge, became Walpole Park, today on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
I shall endeavour to visit and unravel the mystery, they will look askance when I retrieve the trowel from my pocket, but askew when I pull out the mechanical digger. BritHist tends to be a reliable reference, but its brevity is to be commended when talking about individual buildings, there's nothing like grilling the curator over a slow fire - fuelled, perhaps by banned copies of Ulysses the novel ... and so, to bed.

As I'm getting confused as to exactly where and/or on what page a reference originally came from, I am going over to having:
This will look slightly more professional, save time and also aid others who wish to consult the sources; so save them ploughing through umpteen pages of text looking for the exact place.

Further: For the this subject matter [Pitzhanger] which is of interest due to its history as much as its aesthetic value I think it is a very good idea to make use of the Cnote template. This will make adding footnotes to explain the context etc., so much easier.
i.e., {{cnote | enter name of content note here | enter text of content note here}}

Both Jonathan Gurnells it appears, used the same spelling, so it is the source used for note 1 (EBCC History) that was wrong to add an 'h'. There is a slight possibility of course, that this is another Gurnell, although I can not (readily at this moment) find any reference to another one.-- Aspro ( talk) 12:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
"an extensive restoration returned much of the building back to Soane's design". Not a native English-speaker, I do not feal as the right person to correct language but isn't "return...back" a pelonasm and should it not be changed simply to #returned" ot #took...back"? Just a thought. Ramblersen ( talk) 21:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
