For some reason, the map shown here displays with a black background on IE.

Weird. I thought IE had fixed its problems with transparent PNGs. I'll do it again and make the background white, then.

Infobox change
Changed from Infobox mountain to Infobox Islands as it is more appropriate.
Removed these parameters that didn't fit the new template:
I just reverted a change made earlier today which had put Steepholm in Bristol. This is incorrect. The proof can be seen on the Government's MAGIC mapping system
here, but you will zoom into the island (scale 1:5000). It shows the Bristol City Council boundary touching the north shore of the island but not actually encompassing any of it. Furthermore the text label next to the island indicates that it is part of the Weston-super-Mare parish of North Somerset. If further proof were needed, then numerous references can be found on the North Somerset Council website to the island e.g. in the local plan. --

copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
No copyvio issue. There are some grammar issues throughout the article, particularly in the history section, especially with run-on and awkward sentences. I'll point out some - Prehistoric: the 4th and 5th sentences in the 2nd paragraph; Religious foundations: 1st, 8th, 9th sentences; Manorial, sentences 2, 4, 7, 2nd paragraph, sentences 1, 3,
Hi
Rodw - there are still quite a few throughout the article. I went in to the sections I mentioned and made some corrections. This is really the only issue I still see. Very nice job so far.

Thanks. I have been through and made a few more grammar changes. Are there other "run-on and awkward sentences" that I'm not spotting?—

Hi
Rodw - There are a couple throughout (the World wars section) comes to mind. But I don't think enough to keep this from GA. You might want to take one more look.

Well referenced. Couple of places that might be cases of
WP:CITEKILL (e.g. 2nd paragraph in Palmerston Fort - consider of moving some to an "External links" section)
