Why this record matters

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2216704. Authority coordinates are 50.933, 37.800. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
