Gryffins...

[Scott]

Amanda was writing about Heraldry on the main list and mentioned 
Gryffins which brought this question to mind and I can't for the life 
of me remember all of it.

I know that there are pictures of Gryffins on the back of some 1 GBP 
coins.  I also remember that there are statues of Gryffins around 
London when one is entering and exiting The City, especially when 
entering into Westminster. I can remember that the Gryffin has some 
connection to London but I can't put my finger on what. Also can you 
clarify whether the Gryffin statues are surrounding The City or 
Westminster as I can't remember that either.

Who is once again questioning the wonderfully intelligent Brits on 
the list and is quite afraid for them that some of us Yanks find it 
easier to ask you guys than to look it up...
