Wow this is one of the most notable pubs in the City Of London! Evidence of its history is all over the internet - the inspiration for Miss Havisham in Dickens' Great Expectations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobslayer (talkcontribs) 20:32, 15 September 2008

I see no reason for the link to the Australian theatre restaurant to be on this article, 'Medieval feasting' bears absolutely no relation to 18th century London or the publican for which the pub is named, so I have removed the link as it appears to just be advertising of the worst kind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.103.244 (talk) 19:14, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Nathaniel was the name of Richard Bentley's father and it was Richard Bentley who lost his wife tragically and lived in squalour - hence the words Dirty Dick's (Dick used to be the nickname for Richard in that era.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.96.219.91 (talk) 04:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
