Manors sub-project. Part of Wikidata:WikiProject Early Modern England and Wales.

Scope

Manors, as listed in the Manorial Documents Register (Q105770461) (MDR) -- i.e. entities generating manorial records, because there was a manorial court.

All items in scope should be UK places with instance of (P31) = manor estate (Q2116450), and a UK National Archives ID (P3029) value with qualifier subject has role (P2868) = manor estate (Q2116450).

Items in the UK without a UK National Archives ID (P3029) identifier, or not on the Manorial Documents Register should not have instance of (P31) = manor estate (Q2116450).

• See /Properties page for properties coverage.

Immediate goals

• Try to improve P131 coverage and location (P276) coverage. Currently 2,200 manors do not have their TNA location matched to a P131 statement.
  • Investigate borderline location (P276) matches
• Try to align/match VCH and IPM entries to TNA manors. Investigate 3-way alignment.
• Consider to try to link manor buildings etc (and later entities) to the TNA manor estates via suitable properties.
• Develop an exemplar item, for a manor with a rich online information at TNA, to understand how it can be modelled in wikidata.
  • I've attempted to start this off using Hawkshead Manor - --Mr impossible (talk) 16:00, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
