- Comment Google Books suggests that it might be Denby Grange, but even that's not in Devonshire. G maps reveals things in Devonshire called Denbury, but nothing with a Grange. No doubt our English colleagues can shed some light, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:50, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- Delete -- It is not even accurate: a grange was a farm belonging to a monastery, not itself a monastery. No objection to re-creation is something can be provided showing that it is notable. I found one local news source that indicated that there is a place called Denbury near Newton Abbot. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:29, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- There certainly wasn't a monastery in Denbury, but there do seem to be two possibilities here. A monastic grange is a manor that's owned by a monastery: the Manor of Denbury was owned by Tavistock Abbey, so the article might be intended to refer to that manor. Alternatively this might be about Denbury Priory, which is a redlink in the List of monastic houses in Devon with a reference to Pastscape, which calls it a Benedictine cell dependent on Tavistock and provides a couple of references for it. If either of these possibilities turn out to be notable, they wouldn't benefit from being built on the foundation of this inaccurate one-liner, so I'll go for delete, with the possibility of writing one or two accurately-titled articles if enough sources can be found. —SMALLJIM 11:05, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
