Grand Jubilee of 1814

  • ... that at least one man was killed during the Grand Jubilee of 1814 when John Nash's pagoda in St James's Park (pictured) burnt down? "a grand national jubilee on August 1st, 1814, celebrating the anniversary of the Battle of the Nile and the centenary of the accession of the family of Brunswick, during which a Chinese pagoda in St. James's Park caught fire and at least one person was lost in the fire" from the editors note in Byron, George Gordon Byron Baron (1975). "Wedlock's the Devil": 1814-1815. Harvard University Press. p. 154. ISBN 978-0-674-08944-0.

Overall: Great choice for a DYK! Lovely illustration, too. There are a lot of pictures of this event in the "United Kingdom in 1814" Wikimedia Commons category, so I've added a few more. However, I've found a more specialist source which specifically reports multiple fatalities: The Hanoverian Succession: Dynastic Politics and Monarchical Culture, page 191, citing a newspaper article. I would be happier if the hook was changed to "at least one man" or similar, matching the source. Blythwood (talk) 20:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Blythwood thanks for the review and the images. I can't view page 191 on the Google Books preview, can you provide an extract or else make the change to the article yourself? Happy for the hook to reflect "at least one" if that's what the source says. Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 06:52, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Dumelow, that's fine! Often in Google Books you can see the page you want if you scroll up and down a few times. Added it to the article and passed! I've cited it in the article, with a quote, and also added a Wikimedia Commons category as a bonus. Blythwood (talk) 16:49, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
