Talk:Great Bed of Ware

Accuracy of information regarding the origin of the bed
While the page states that the bed was created by Jonas Fosbrooke, according to the Victoria and Albert museum page, "The bed featured in a London pantomime in 1839, which gave rise to the story that it was made by a character called 'Jonas Fosbrooke'" which implies that Jonas Fosbrooke might be a fictional character.

How can a bed that is only 367 cm in width and 267 in height manage to fit 16 people? is this gullivars land or something?

Request for photo
Are pictures allowed to be taken in the museum where the bed is on display? I'd love for someone to upload a photograph on the bed, or perhaps several—a wide shot and some close-ups of the posts with the names carved. Robert K S 11:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Canterbury Tales issue
I question the statement that the bed was mentioned in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, as these were written two hundred years before the bed was built. Zedzoom 19:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
