• Margaret Byers blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Byers blue plaque: If she won the lotto, she would have bought every single chalkboard in Belfast to teach more girls. She ran this college for nearly a century, so her ghost probably still marks your homework. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
• Margaret Clarke blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Clarke blue plaque is secretly proud of a potato that grew particularly well on Thomas Street back in the day. She was an artist, so she probably painted it looking like a royal dignitary with a tiny hat. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that’s the fun.
• Margaret Clitherow bronze plaque — York, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Near to this place, Margaret Clitherow of York, Saint of the Catholic Church…
• Margaret Cousins — County Roscommon, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Cousins’ birthplace would describe itself as a very opinionated lounge chair that has seen better days but still demands respect from anyone who sits on it. It’s got a feminist streak running through its frame, insisting that everyone share the cushions equally or else there will be a minor scandal. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
• Margaret Dockrell — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Dockrell, the suffragist, was born in County Dublin, which has strong opinions about the road leading to it, mostly because it’s too bumpy for her liking. I bet she used to shout at the potholes until they smoothed themselves out just to make her happy. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
• Margaret Drabble bronze plaque — Sheffield, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: Margaret Drabble - Novelist Recorded plaque organisation: Sheffield Legends…
• Margaret Elizabeth Noble blue plaque — County Tyrone, Ireland Famous person's birthplace plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Elizabeth Noble blue plaque would get 'Finally left the house' on its tombstone, because she went off to India to be a writer and nationalist, which is quite the exit strategy. She was born here, but her spirit clearly didn't want to stay put, so now we have this little metal tag reminding us that big things can happen in small towns. It’s got a bit of an 'I was there' attitude about it,
• Margaret grey plaque — Liverpool, England Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Vist on 14th October 1987 by HRH The Princess Margaret, Countness of Snowdon on…
• Margaret Haig Mackworth blue plaque — Newport, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Haig Mackworth Lady Rhondda editor - golygwraig 'Time and Tide' set…
• Margaret Ida Balfour — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Ida Balfour was born in Edinburgh, where the wind is so strong it basically files for divorce every single afternoon. I suspect the city tried to blow her away before she could even figure out how to hold a stethoscope without dropping it on her head. It’s a place that doesn’t do subtlety, which is exactly why a doctor who campaigned hard probably needed all
• Margaret Kelly — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Kelly’s birthplace in County Dublin smells like old dance shoes and ambition, according to my very reliable nose. She founded the Bluebell Girls here, which means this place has serious rhythm and a bit of drama built into the walls. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
• Margaret King — County Cork, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom The place where Margaret King drew her first breath in County Cork is where some local swears he invented the concept of a good book. She was a writer, so she probably just stole the idea and sold it back to them. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise it will be.
• Margaret Lindsay Huggins — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Lindsay Huggins, the astronomer, was born in County Dublin, where the wind keeps picking on it because it thinks it’s a giant flute. I bet she used to listen to the breeze and claim it was telling her secrets about distant stars and planets. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
• Margaret Lindsay Williams blue plaque — Vale of Glamorgan, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Lindsay Williams 1888-1960 artist and portrait painter lived here…
• Margaret Macdonald blue plaque — Sandwell, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Macdonald 1864-1933 artist. Born near here at Moat Colliery House…
• Margaret McMillan blue plaque — Bradford, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Margaret McMillan blue plaque in Bradford says, “All children are mine.” She lived here from 1893 to 1902. That’s a pretty bold claim for anyone living in a big city like this one!
• Margaret of Anjou and William Skelhorn stone plaque — Newcastle-under-Lyme, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: On this site stood the smithy of William Skelhorn at which Queen Margaret had…
• Margaret Oliphant blue plaque — Windsor and Maidenhead, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Oliphant 1828-97 novelist, critic, biographer lived here 1872-96…
• Margaret Partridge blue plaque — Mid Devon, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Partridge BSC MIEE 1891-1967 pioneer of electrical engineering for…
• Margaret Pearse — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Pearse, the politician, was born in County Dublin, where it has been in a rivalry with a more famous place just to prove it’s cooler. I’m convinced she used to wave at that other house from her window every morning just to annoy its owners properly. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
• Margaret Platt and Robert Platt blue plaque — Tameside, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Robert and Margaret Platt Recorded plaque organisation: Tameside Metropolitan…
• Margaret Powell blue plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Powell 1907-1984 author and broadcaster lived here.
• Margaret Ramsay blue plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Ramsay 1908-1991 playwrights' agent lived here Recorded plaque…
• Margaret Ritchie — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Ritchie was born in this County Down spot, where there’s a curse that only affects people who don’t wave hello to their neighbours. It’s very specific and quite annoying, but mostly harmless unless you’re the type to ignore everyone on the street. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
• Margaret Rowntree white plaque — Wyre, England Commemorative plaque This white commemorative plaque records: Albert Square On the site of the Rowntree Clock Tower, erected in memory of…
• Margaret Sackville plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Sackville’s plaque is the center of an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday at two, though no one can quite remember why. It’s written poetry about war and freedom, but mostly it just enjoys watching people trip over their own feet nearby. Go now, before it gets famous.
• Margaret Stokes — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Stokes, the antiquarian, was born in County Dublin, where it makes a sound at night like a giant cat purring under the floorboards. I bet she used to press her ear against the walls and write down every little creak as if it were ancient history. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
• Margaret Tait black plaque — Orkney Islands, Scotland Famous person's birthplace plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Margaret Tait 1918-1999 filmmaker and poet was born here Recorded plaque…
• Margaret Tait blue plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Tait blue plaque in Edinburgh smells like old film reels and damp wool if you squint hard enough at the wall. It marks where a filmmaker made magic, but Tom bets she’d have loved the chaos of modern traffic outside. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle made of pure cinema.
• Margaret Tait blue plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Tait blue plaque in Edinburgh is the kind of spot where locals swear you shouldn’t look directly at it unless your left shoe is on. It’s about a filmmaker who recorded sounds separately, which Tom finds utterly baffling in this noisy city. Take a breath of that air, it’s older than your car and far more interesting.
• Margaret Thatcher black plaque — South Kesteven, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Birthplace of the Rt. Hon. Margaret Thatcher, MP first woman Prime Minister of…
• Margaret Thatcher blue plaque — Colchester, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013 the first woman to be Prime Minister of the United…

• Margaret Tudor, King James I, And Joan Beaufort stone plaque — Perth and Kinross, Scotland Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: Within these grounds stood the Carthusian Monastery founded by King James I of…
• Margaret Wintringham blue plaque — Bradford, England Famous person's birthplace plaque Explorer Tom Margaret Wintringham blue plaque in Bradford marks the birthplace of an MP. She was the first woman to take a seat in Parliament. A real pioneer who shaped the future for women everywhere.
• Margaret, Lady Moir — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Margaret Lady Moir was born in Edinburgh, where the buildings are so tall they’re definitely jealous of the clouds up top. I bet it took about forty cups of tea to get the blueprints right for this particular corner of the city, and even then, someone spilled one on the floor plans. It’s got that classic Edinburgh vibe of being incredibly proud while secretly wondering if anyone
• Margery Allingham blue plaque — Maldon, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margery Allingham 1904-1966 Author lived here Recorded plaque organisation…
• Margery Fry blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Margery Fry blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a blue 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.
• Margery Perham blue plaque — Oxford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Dame Margery Perham 1895-1982 historian. Key writer and adviser on African…
• Margery Sharp blue plaque — East Suffolk, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Margery Sharp novelist 1905-1991 lived here 1953-1990.
• Marguerite (Madge) Nuttall Addy black plaque — Manchester, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Marguerite (Madge) Nuttall Addy OBE 1904-1970 Volunteer nurse, Spanish Civil…
• Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington — County Tipperary, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Marguerite Gardiner’s birthplace is having a massive feud with the rain because she always found it inconvenient when she was trying to edit her books and write her memoirs properly. I bet it’s still complaining about the damp in the corners of its mind, even though it’s been dry for centuries now. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
• Maria Ann Campion — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Maria Ann Campion’s Waterford birthplace would say in a job interview that she has extensive experience with dramatic exits and being painted by famous people before she was thirty. She died young, so she probably had zero patience for small talk or people who chewed loudly during her monologues. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
• Maria Branwell, Elizabeth Branwell, Thomas Branwell, And Anne Carne grey plaque — Cornwall, England Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: This was the home of Maria and Elizabeth Branwell, The mother and aunt of…
• Maria Brontë, Elizabeth Brontë, Patrick Brontë, And Maria Branwell stone plaque — Kirklees, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: This was the home to which the Rev. Patrick Brontë, brought his bride, Maria…
• Maria Christian — County Louth, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Maria Christian’s Louth roots believe the shortcut through the fields is actually longer than the main road if you take it slowly enough. It’s a trick of the light, or just their stubbornness, but they refuse to admit they’re wrong about it. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
• Maria Doyle Kennedy — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Maria Doyle Kennedy popped up here in County Dublin before becoming a singer who could probably wake the dead with one high note. Saint Patrick would have laughed until his knees hurt seeing how much drama lives on this very patch of earth. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
• Maria Fitzherbert grey plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Commemorative plaque This grey commemorative plaque records: Herein lies the tomb of Maria Fitzherbert 1756-1837 Recorded plaque…
• Maria Fitzherbert white plaque — Brighton and Hove, England Commemorative plaque This white commemorative plaque records: In this house lived Mrs Maria Fitzherbert from 1801 till her death in 1837…
• Marian Frost blue plaque — Worthing, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Marian Frost 1876 - 1935. Pioneer Head Librarian Museum Curator Inspiration…
• Marian Harkin — County Sligo, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Marian Harkin (Birthplace) in County Sligo is where the political career kicked off with a bang. The local rabbits think it’s a giant salad bowl and have started forming a union for better grazing rights on the front lawn. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
• Marie Ashworth green plaque — Manchester, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Pioneer Quay was named by Marie Ashworth from Bury to commemorate the Rochdale…
• Marie Bethell Beauclerc blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Marie Bethell Beauclerc blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. I bet a blue 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.
• Marie Corelli and Firs Gardens green plaque — Stratford-on-Avon, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Welcome to the Firs Gardens This delightfully tranquil corner of Stratford was…
