It seems unlikely that the old livestock market at Tring is still worthy of mention, as the area that contained the original working shambles has now been covered in tarmac.

Could someone create an article called Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum? I think it would be an important page, because the museum is mentioned in many other articles.

Done, see above link. Lumos3 22:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Layout - pictures overwrite text

On my (Gecko) browser the pictures on the left overwrite the text. This happens when the text size is >100%.

It needs someone with more image/layout expertise than I have to fix it. DaveRo 15:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Done! Took a while, but I think it looks neater... Hope it helps. UltimateNagash 10:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Small update

I've moved one photo to improve the layout, it looked terrible. I've also updated to article to reflect the change in the museum name and updated it's link. Also changed the news link as it had been changed at Hemel Online. photo Rob 22.30 23 May 2007(GMT)

Isn't Hertfordshire in the eastern region?

[edit] Meaning

I came here hoping to find the derivation of the name Tring. Anyone able to add something about it? David Colver (talk) 18:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

i'm no expert on this but the meaning of the name Tring or rather Tredunga / Treunga, which are the first spellings to be found in the Domesday Book is not obvious but in 1265 a later spelt more usefully provides an answer OE 'trẽo-hangra' which can be vocalised as 'Trehanger' and as it suggests means 'a slope on where trees grow'. Btw there is another line of thought which does not have much support I should add that the name relates to 'triangle' presumably due to the tongue of land surrounded on three sides by manors in Buckinghamshire.Tmol42 (talk) 20:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
