I'm happy to have a read through and make suggestions - just remember, they're only suggestions. I've never been a sub-ed or anything, just a bloke who seems to have churned out more rubbish than anyone else. I've had articles that have lingered in Peer Review for over 2 years and at the moment 3 of the articles in Peer Review that I've written haven't had anyone comment on them, so whether my opinion's actually worth listening to is up to you to decide. smiley - winkeye

If it was me, I'd put the first footnote, the ' It first reappears in Berkshire for a 5 miles - 8 km stretch. There are two more sections named Grims Ditches. in Oxfordshire first is in Southern Oxfordshire running for 5-miles - 8 km. Then in Chilterns another (The longest surviving section.) stretch of 17 miles - 30 km. The final portion appears in Middlesex running for 2 miles - 3 km toward Harrow, near London. That is a total of 43 miles or 72 kilometres.' Bit, into the 'Other Grims Ditches' section and actually into the text, before 'As previously mentioned'. I'd also probably have your footnote 12 as the end of that paragraph.

Another thing I found off-putting was that it is called both 'Grims' and 'Grimms'.
