I hope nobody objects if I upload a sunnier picture of the castle as the lead picture Mjobling 19:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
I've never been there but i here it's very pretty and it's one of my favourite british castles. Does anyone know if there are any regurlar guided tours around the site? Also, roughly how long does it take to look around it? -- Matthewcl375 20:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Isn't that somewhat misleading? Yes, the farm was around by then, but the building as we look at it today is 13th century. 86.132.142.207 ( talk) 20:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I just removed some text that is more or less copied from this source. The copyright violation was in the article for over a year. Nev1 ( talk) 21:24, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
I've given the article a thorough review - everything should be up to date now. I've two specialist sources left to check over, which I should get hold of the coming 3-4 weeks, and I'll see if they add anything more. Hchc2009 ( talk) 09:14, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
DeFacto, I don't think the section can hold any more images, and there is already an image of the gatehouse in it? Hchc2009 ( talk) 22:48, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
Under the heading "History: 13th-15th centuries", the penultimate sentence in the second paragraph reads "The Inquisition Post Mortem following John's death revealed that the de Verduns' feofee at Stokesay at the time was Reginald de Grey. This is confusingly written, and raises the following questions: why is "Post Mortem" capitalized? Is it referring to a post mortem of John's body, or something else? If the former, how could a post mortem determine a "feofee", or indeed anything other than something about John's physical person? What is a "feofee"? This is the only instance of the word being used in the article, and the only obviously related word is "feodaries", used once, in the following sentence. I would guess that both have something to do with "enfeoff", an obscure English term for granting a fiefdom to someone, but "feofee" and "feodaries" are terms that will be almost entirely unknown to most users of English. I suggest that both be replaced with more commonly understood terms. Bricology ( talk) 20:38, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
