Gogmagog

Any thoughts as to why, in the Guildhall in the City of London, there should be large statues of Gog and Magog? It seems the most unlikely place to find these Pagan(?)legendary figures. I think the wooden figures are late Mediaeval but it's years since I saw them so the memory is a bit cloudy.

I can't remember what Lethbridge states about these, but he does mention them. It could be purely that he has no clue as to why they are there :-) I'll look this evening.
