"Prehistory"...
The article currently has a section entitled "Prehistory of New Inn Hall"... Huh?
The usual distinction between history and prehistory is that history is the study of the past as revealed through documents... So a section entitled "Prehistory of New Inn Hall" SHOULD be about whatever was on the site of the college, prior to literacy arriving in England -- that is prior to the Roman occupation.
But the current text of this section seems to be about the history of the Inn before it became an official part of the University. Surely then the paragraph should either be part of New_Inn_Hall#Early history -- or trimmed because it is unreferenced? Geo Swan (talk) 22:33, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
