I've put Michael Foale before Tennyson, not because I think he's more important, just that Foale was born in Louth but Tennyson wasn't. Dupont Circle 18:11, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

A little-known piece of trivia: The new metal strips showing the Greenwich Meridian Line do not line up with the older plaque [sic?] next to Moby Dick's fish and chips shop. This is probably because the plaque [sic?] would be on the glass door if it was positioned absolutely correctly. It may also be due to inaccurate measurement. --80.229.152.246 19:25, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)


  • Louth Grammar School changed to King Edward VI Grammar School, as this is its proper title.

Who is Ben Ranshaw? 81.86.32.180 05:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone whose name has just been taken off this article! Dupont Circle 21:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the Barton Street link that lead confusingly to the Wikipedia article on Barton St., London. Isn't the Louth street an old Roman roadway? Melangell 06:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

think Barton Street is a prehistoric Track not roman

Ludensians etc[edit]

Reverted the removal of most of the famous inhabitants of Louth; this needs discussion before it is enacted. List needs clean-up but not such drastic action, which removes many points of interest from the article. N.B. Ludensians *not* restricted to those born in Louth, as per reverted edit: see the 'Old Ludensians' (ex-Grammar school) etc etc. (although I'm pretty sure Ludensians are named after the Latin name of the town (Lude/Luda), not the river...)

Picture of upgate[edit]

I have uploaded my own picture of upgate and will replace it with a better quality one when I get round to taking one. Could someone put in a sensible position please? User:jkslouth

Coat of Arms[edit]

Does anyone know anything about this?

We may go back to London by Louth, famous for its church, spire, and comical coat of arms; {209}

{209} A little boy undergoing the operation of being flogged, in the

manner that Mother Hubbard performed the deed before sending

the children to bed.

From Rides on Railways by Samuel Sidney (1852) 81.156.83.0 (talk) 14:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of "Louth"?[edit]

Does anybody know the origin of this placename? The Irish town and county of the same name, County Louth, derives from the Celtic God Lugh. Any connection? 89.101.41.216 (talk) 20:08, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A Mr S. Potts also thinks the name is derived from the same Celtic god, if I am safe to assume Lugas is Lugus and also Lugh, see Ludborough Parish Council.Lacunae (talk) 21:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The name Louth derives from Hlud or Loud — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.19.199.220 (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
