James Henry Reynolds — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Henry Reynolds gave up chocolate for Lent in County Dublin, which is a massive sacrifice considering he was a military officer who probably deserved every sweet he could get his hands on. He won a Victoria Cross, so maybe the chocolate was a reward for surviving. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
James Henthorn Todd — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Henthorn Todd wrote a bad poem about County Dublin that rhymed 'Dublin' with 'gobbling', which he then printed in a serious history book to confuse everyone.

- James Hill blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom James Hill blue plaque in Bradford celebrates a film director from 1936. He started his career at the Civic Playhouse. Maybe he’s still lurking around, looking for his next big screen break?
James Hoban — County Kilkenny, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Hoban in County Kilkenny is where the man who designed the White House first drew his breath into this world. I bet he’d bring a tiny blueprint and a strong cup of coffee to any party, just showing off how much space he can fit in a square inch. It’s wild that such a grand architect started right here, mucking about with local stone before conquering America’s skyline. Practise your Irish on- James Holder Grimes blue plaque — Hinckley and Bosworth, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Commemorated here James Holder Grimes died 15.04.1917.

James Johnston blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom James Johnston blue plaque in County Down marks the home of a tenor. I bet he woke the neighbors with his high C before they even had coffee. It’s a quiet spot now, but you can still feel the lingering vibrato. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.- James Jones black plaque — Monmouthshire, Wales Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Abergavenny was known for the manufacture of white periwigs. On this site…
James Joseph Magennis blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom James Joseph Magennis blue plaque in County Antrim honors a Leading Seaman who got his VC for submarine work. That is a long way to go for a medal when you are stuck underwater with fish. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about how deep you can breathe under pressure, buddy.
James Joyce — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom The name James Joyce really means 'James Who Is Trying Very Hard To Seem Deep' if you ask Tom, which is probably closer to the truth than any literary critic will admit. He was an Irish novelist who wrote sentences that make your brain hurt on purpose. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
James Joyce blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom James Joyce blue plaque has caught my eye in Arun.

James Lawless — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James Lawless’s birthplace in Wexford is currently stuck in a fairy dispute over parking rights near the old stone wall, which has caused a minor diplomatic incident.

Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.- James Leatham yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom James Leatham yellow plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City. I bet a commemorative plaque with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

James MacArdell — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom There is a made-up local legend about a giant in County Dublin who was defeated by James MacArdell because the engraver drew him with very bad eyesight. He was an Irish engraver who probably spent more time looking at details than actually living life. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
James MacCullagh — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom James MacCullagh in County Tyrone was a mathematician who died young but probably left behind one potato he was secretly proud of. He’d use that potato to demonstrate volume while you stared, confused by his genius. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket just in case.- James MacCullagh blue plaque — County Tyrone, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom James MacCullagh blue plaque is the sort of place where locals swear by a superstition that if you trip over the pavement nearby, you’ll solve a physics equation before lunch.

The plaque just sits there, looking smart and slightly out of touch with the
