This page lost its history when somebody moved it from Temple Bar: as I understand it, if he / she had used the "Move this page" function, the history would have been preserved; but instead he/she simply cut and pasted the text between the two pages. Does anybody know how to get back the history? (It is currently stored under Temple Bar). Thanks Doops 17:43, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
P.S. I looked at some other pages which had been moved, and while their history was brought across successfully, I couldn't find any reference, at the point of moving itself, to the old and new addresses of the page. (This seems like part of the page's "history" too, in a sense.) Am I just overlooking something? Doops 20:54, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
Whether or not a dragon would have been more desirable, the animal atop the Memorial simply is a griffin, no mistaking. I've inserted the sculptors' names.--Wetman (talk) 01:50, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Absolutely mistaken - I walk past it daily as a member of Lincoln's Inn and banking at Child & Co. It is clearly a dragon having a lizards head and scaly body with four legs and two Leathery wings like a bat with a spear tail - not a beak, nor a feather nor a lion's claw or tail in sight.

In the "Present location" section it states that "In March 1938 Theobalds Park was sold by Sir Hedworth Meux to Middlesex County Council, but the Temple Bar Gatehouse was excluded from the sale and retained by the Meux trustees." the source given for this is the website http://www.thetemplebar.info/theobalds-park.html. I was skeptical about this date as Hedworth Meux died in 1929 as his article confirms. Looking at the source it actually confirms that Meux died in 1929 and mentions an attempted sale by his trustees in 1937. It also would seem to suggest that the property was "disposed of" (which may or may not mean sold) in March 1938, but the sold again in April 1938 to Middlesex Council. It is also not clear from this article that the Temple Bar Gatehouse was excluded from the 1938 sale, only that it was excluded from the proposed 1937 sale. Thus, my reading is that the statement as it stands currently is wrong on more than one count and at odds with the cited source (which in fairness may have been altered since it was originally cited). However I am hesitant to chance as I am still not entirely clear on the sequence of what happened in 1938. Dunarc (talk) 19:25, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
I think that the memorial is significant enough to have a page of its' own. Any thoughts. Gusfriend (talk) 11:21, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
