The reference to Stapleton Village Hall is for the wrong village - Leicestershire not Shropshire and needs removing.

I am deleting the Notable people section as its only person named is 'Lord J.A. Dale - Educator and athlete' which redlinks (ie no article). In Wikipedia terms this person therefore does not qualify as notable and I suspect the name is fictitious; I have not heard of such a person based on my 60 years residence in the area.Cloptonson (talk) 14:17, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have reinstated the section, with a genuine person, who has a citation detailing his appointment as Rector of Stapleton.Cloptonson (talk) 19:48, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Exfords Green - really a village?

edit

I note Stapleton (one of my nearby villages to home) is stated to neighbour 'the villages of Exfords Green and Dorrington'. While Dorrington, which has a wiki article to itself, is a major village, I doubt the same could be same for Exfords Green which is a settlement of a few scattered houses and farms at a crossroads of lanes at foot of Lyth Hill without any community organisation or facilities - hamlet would be a more apt description. What do others think?Cloptonson (talk) 19:53, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
