Roman fort

Can anyone explain what the relevance of the diagram of a Roman castrum is to this article? I see it has been re-introduced for no discernable reason. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:32, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

I rather suspect it is because "A Roman fort, only the third known in Cornwall, was discovered next to the church in 2008". DuncanHill (talk) 16:43, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate that but a generic diagram is not especially relevant to the article about the town. It appears, along with others, in the wikilinked article on Roman castra. A picture of the dig, for instance, would be more useful, or a diagram of what the actual fort looked like. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Done: I replaced it by a map of the actual fort. Ontopofthehill (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Local heraldry

There are some very nice graphics of heraldic shields in this section but in most cases, no clue as to the local relevance. Could someone with more knowledge on the subject add a note to each explaining the connection with Calstock, rather rhan just Cornwall generally? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:41, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Derivation of the name

An editor has supplied a derivation of the name from old Cornish and Old English words (Kelly and Stock). However the actual quote is:

The first part of Calstock is said to have been derived from the Cornish word for a wood – “Kelly” - the “stock” element being Anglo-Saxon for “place”. So “Calystock” or “Kellistock” might have meant “wooded place”.

It only claims it may be the derivation and there is no supporting evidence for this and the document is a self-published genealogical essay that doesn't cite any sources. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 08:28, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Civil War

The number of casualties in the battle for the bridge at Gunnislake is quoted as 240 but it is not clear whether this is the defending forces, the attacking forces or the total from both sides. Could someone clarify this please. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 11:28, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
