Talk:Tring

Untitled
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.

213.152.56.61 Please dont use Wikipedia to make personal attacks on people on the talk pages Lumos3 15:24, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) anyone else happen to come accross this gem except an irate businessman? i lived in tring for 15 years. i moved away when i could. anyone else have an opinion?

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)

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)

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?

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)

Seems to be another theory here: "Nevertheless, discussion as to the origin of the name Tring continue: some favour a Saxon "three-wooded place", some allude to a connection with the local Celtic tribe, the Trinovanti (perhaps a Saxon version of this romanisation of their original Celtic name)."Danrok (talk) 15:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Stanley Lief, Champneys and Nature Cure
Although the Naturopathy page, to which I have linked, has set off considerable controversy, the existence of an activity called Nature Cure (as the kind of naturopathy the present General Council and Register of Naturopaths consider mainstream) was a reality, and it had many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of enthusiasts. The page titled Nature Cure is almost empty and seems redundant. I left the fate of Champneys unmentioned because of its present commercial status. Michael P. Barnett (talk) 19:29, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Michael, I agree the Champneys article is not up to an encyclopaedic standard, however it would be the right place to set out the story of how Stanley Lief's converted it and used it as a natural health clinic, an essential part of its history connecting it to its present purpose as a spa in fact. It would contribute to improving the article. In any case, although the postal town of Champneys is Tring, the house and estate are some distance from the town, Champneys is on the edge of the village of Wigginton. I may be wrong but I assume Lief had no specific connection with Tring so mentioning Lief in the Tring article is out of place. Tmol42 (talk) 20:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
