Thank you for this page. I have just listed a joint publication on Scowles on the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust page and wondered if this is actually one of those already listed in the references on the Scowle page. I have set the wiki link through from the GWT page to Scowle page so people can learn more about Scowles. I report in that some of the reference links given on the Scowle page appear no longer to work as the organisation has presumably changed links on their own web sites. I did try to search new links, but Gloucestershire County Council does not appear to carry this info on-line, and was not sure which was the correct publication on the English Heritage web site when I searched for Scowle survey. Hope this helpful.Sjeans (talk) 12:38, 5 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
