 What does the article say? QUOTE Built in ashlar stone, the building is roofless.[3] English Heritage says: QUOTE Parish church, now redundant and roofless. What does Google Earth show?  Strange.... |

Obviously, when the church heard that the Google satellite would be flying overhead, they hired this guy to chalk their roofless church floor, so that it looks like it has a roof. For insurance purposes, of course.

They decided to re-roof the church in 2000. Edit: Credit for finding the source goes to the anon on Talk:St_Mary's_Church,_Hartwell. This post has been edited by Michaeldsuarez: Mon 9th May 2011, 1:52pm |

Using Google Earth to determine that the church does, in fact, have a roof is prohibited original research. If sources say the church has no roof, then it has no roof, and any evidence to the contrary that hasn't been published on the Internet must simply be disregarded as unreliable.

They should really change the name of that category from "Did You Know?" to "Do You Really Care?"

That is a strange one I came up against recently, "It is not proof enough to read a picture, you have to read someone else saying what is in the picture." Why aren't pictures reliable sources? "If a picture paints a thousands words ...", sung by Vin Diesel's father ... |
