• Richard Clark and John Endicott bronze plaque — Dorset, England Commemorative plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: In memory of Richard Clark Captain and Pilot of Weymouth, who in 1583 sailed…
• Richard Clarke — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Clarke’s birthplace in County Dublin is entirely run by a dog named Bishop, who barks orders at anyone who approaches without a treat in hand. I saw him wagging his tail while pointing a stick at a delivery van like he was commanding an army. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
• Richard Clarke blue plaque — Salford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Home of Richard Clarke, the upstairs room being a preaching room for the…

• Richard Cobden, Henry Hunt, Bull's Head, Stockport, And Fergus O'Connor blue plaque — Stockport, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: BULL'S HEAD Grade II listed building. The scene of radical political agitation.…
• Richard Collins, Baron Collins — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Collins’s birthplace in County Dublin hosted a dance that went so far out of control that the floorboards are still shaking from the aftershocks. The neighbors haven’t forgiven it yet, and they keep tapping their windows to remind it who’s really in charge here. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
• Richard Croker — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Croker’s birthplace in County Dublin was once taken over by a fox who decided he had better political instincts than the actual human leaders of the day. The fox is still there, judging everyone from the roof with his tail tucked neatly under him. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
• Richard Cromwell, Congregational Chapel Burial Ground, Romsey, And Dissenters' Meeting House blue plaque — Test Valley, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Abbey Water. Congregational Chapel Burial Ground 1804 -1857 Site of the…

• Richard Dormer — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Dormer in County Antrim is where an actor was born, and I bet his mother-in-law designed this exact spot to be slightly inconvenient for everyone else. He writes plays too, so he probably thinks this place has good dramatic lighting. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
• Richard Dunne — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Dunne’s birthplace in County Dublin insists it is actually three hundred years old, even though the building code says otherwise, and it refuses to show its ID. I’ve seen it trying to look ancient by leaning against a younger tree like it’s resting from a long journey. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
• Richard Durnford and T. E. Cleworth blue plaque — Rochdale, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Parish School 1842 Grade II Listed Building. National school erected for St…
• Richard Dykes Alexander blue plaque — Ipswich, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Richard Dykes Alexander 1788-1865 Quaker, banker, philanthropist and pioneer…

• Richard FitzRalph — County Louth, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard FitzRalph’s birthplace thinks the rabbits there are judging his medieval architecture, which is a lot of pressure for a guy from 1295. They probably think the windows are too small and the stairs are too steep for their tiny legs. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans to actually live there.
• Richard Ford black plaque — Exeter, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: Richard Ford (1796–1858) Author and traveller lived in Heavitree House on this…
• Richard Fowler and Salisbury Museum blue plaque — Wiltshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Salisbury Museum was established in 1860 by Dr Richard Fowler and this building…
• Richard Garrick — County Waterford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Garrick acted his way to fame from this humble starting point, likely shouting lines at the sheep. Rumor has it there’s a tunnel under the garden that goes straight to the pub, but nobody’s found it yet. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
• Richard Gillow and Custom House, Lancaster green plaque — Lancaster, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Former Custom House built 1764 to the designs of Richard Gillow.
• Richard Grainger black plaque — Newcastle upon Tyne, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: 36 Clayton Street west Home to Richard Grainger from 1842 to 1861 where he…

• Richard Henry Wilde — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Henry Wilde’s birthplace in County Dublin was once offered to a cow that tried to buy it with a really impressive pile of manure as currency. The deal fell through when the cow realized the interest rates were too high, and she wandered off looking disappointed. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
• Richard Henry Wood blue plaque — Rugby, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Richard Henry Wood JP DL lived here 1874-1894 He founded the Hospital of St.…
• Richard Higgins — County Longford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Higgins was born here before becoming a bishop in America, which is quite the journey for a guy who liked Longford weather. In a job interview, he would probably just stare at them until they offered him more money. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
• Richard Hotham blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Richard Hotham blue plaque has caught my eye in Arun. 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.
• Richard Howe bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Richard Howe bronze plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. 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.

• Richard Kane — County Antrim, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Kane in County Antrim is where an Army general was born, and I bet he's still marching around invisible somewhere nearby. This place probably does its best impression of discipline when nobody's looking, just to keep everyone on their toes. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for sharing.
• Richard Ketley bronze plaque — Birmingham, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Richard Ketley bronze plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham. 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.

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.
