Famous People from your Town - Zinjanthropos - Jan 24, 2024
You guys who live in the big metropolitan areas probably have lost count as to how many famous folks called your area home. We country bumpkins from the villages, hamlets and small towns tend to glorify/appreciate our home grown celebs. I mentioned Lois Maxwell (Miss Moneypenny) in another thread but from just down the road comes perhaps our most famous citizen.

House is still there and is occupied. Small plaque on lawn signifies this was the family roost.
