Economic planning regions

Im not sure but I think the East Midland region was at one time called the North Midlands and did include the Parts of Lindsey as the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire were in a region of their own I wont put this in until I have verified it Penrithguy 11:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map discussion

Yorkshirian recently added this new version of an old map to this article; it was removed by Deacon of Pndapetzim and re-added by Yorkshirian. I'd like to replace it with this map instead, which doesn't use boundaries. The changes were made to several articles, so to centralize discussion, please post at Talk:Mercia#Map if you have an opinion. Mike Christie (talk) 02:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The previous map was incorrect as it shows Cornwall as included in Wessex - this map indicates that this was not the case in 1035. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:EmpireNorth.JPG -- William of Malmesbury, writing around 1120, says that King Athelstan of England fixed Cornwall's eastern boundary at the Tamar in 936 after the remaining Cornish had been evicted from Exeter and the rest of Devon in 927 - "Exeter was cleansed of its defilement by wiping out that filthy race". (ref: Professor Philip Payton - (1996). Cornwall. Fowey: Alexander Associates). In 944 Athelstan's successor, Edmund I of England, styled himself 'King of the English and ruler of this province of the Britons' (ref: Malcolm Todd -- The South West to AD 1000 - 1987), an indication of how that accommodation was understood at the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.175.157 (talk) 18:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a map called Proposed English Provinces-Regions for Devolution, the relevance of this is unclear since the text of the article does not discuss these proposals, nor is it clear who has made them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.217.60.18 (talk) 17:38, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

National Trust

We should probably point out that in their Handbook, the National Trust uses regions exactly as the normal government ones.212.137.63.86 (talk) 10:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
