Fix build date reference
[edit]The entry begins “Crich Stand is a memorial tower, originally erected in 1923 …” However in DH Lawrence’s 1913 novel Sons and Lovers we read “At last they came into the straggling grey village of Crich, that lies high. Beyond the village was the famous Crich Stand …” therefore the ‘originally erected’ phrase is inaccurate ~2026-38313-99 (talk) 11:40, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- The 1923 date is correct. Presumably Lawrence was referring to an earlier tower on the same site: "Crich Stand, erected in 1922-23 as the Sherwood Foresters’ regimental memorial...a tower is recorded on this site in 1760, and the existing building incorporates fabric from subsequent towers erected in 1788 and 1849-51".
