About

Sir Richard Owen (1804–1892), born in Brock Street, educated at Lancaster Royal Grammar School, was a distinguished English biologist, anatomist, and paleontologist. He coined the term “dinosaur” after identifying shared traits in fossil reptiles like Iguanodon and Megalosaurus.
Owen helped establish London’s Natural History Museum, which opened in 1881. A prolific writer on living and extinct animals, he opposed Darwin’s theory of natural selection, favouring a divinely guided view of evolution.
