Glenn,
Where have you been mate? At the pub? We featured Tring almost 2 1/2 years ago. Type Tring in the bloody search bar. You are right though about Tring. In fact, I don't think there is a "Natural History" type collection in the world, that is not bursting at the seam's with the most wondrous history imaginable. Even the taxidermist of today, with their fiberglass mounts, have to be impressed with what their counterparts were able to do hundreds of years ago with straw and cotton. Being able to look at extinct animals that we will never see live, makes every Natural History collection in the world housing them, as valuable as the Coronation Crown and Scepter.
Be safe,
Wade
