Changes[edit]

It appears that someone probably bought themselves, or is attempting to sell, the "title" of "Lord of the Manor of Great Caddington or Aston Bury" and is using this article to buff the glamor of that claim by assembling every possible reference to Aston Bury or Aston Bury Manor. Here are the problems:

  • Much of the information is about Caddington, and the sources do not mention Aston Bury, or about Hertfordshire, with the same problem. That information ought to go in those linked articles, not here where it merely adds undue weight and gives a false impression about Aston Bury.
  • The references to the manor now being located in Aston are wholly unsourced (the british-history.ac.uk source refers only to Caddington and the manors there) and there is nothing in the article to establish that the Grade 1 Aston Bury Manor near Aston, Hertfordshire (the manor is at 51°52′45″N 0°08′51″W / 51.8792931°N 0.1474251°W / 51.8792931; -0.1474251) has anything at all to do with the manor or manors at Caddington. (The history of the Aston manor here also does not suggest any connection.)
  • There was a link to Aston in Birmingham which was probably just a bad link, and which I've removed, as I can find nothing to suggest that there was any Aston Bury or Astonbury manor there.
  • There are also no reliable sources to establish anything about the 2013 renewal of the Lordship.

So, I'm going to give the article creator a bit of time to fix these problems. If they do not care to do so, or cannot (which is probably more likely), I'm going to cut this article back to what is relevant and can be supported by the british-history.ac.uk source, which is only the first sentence.
