• Reginald Gray — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Reginald Gray’s birthplace would tell its younger self to stop worrying so much about the paint peeling off the window frames. He was an Irish painter who spent his life making beautiful things, but this spot just wants to be left alone. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
• Reginald Heber stone plaque — Wrexham, Wales Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: 1926 Centenary Memorial Tablet to the glory of God, and in memory of Reginald…
• Reginald Hine plaque — North Hertfordshire, England Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: In Memory of Reginald Hine FSA Hist Soc 1885 - 1949 Solicitor Man of Letters…
• Reginald Johnston — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Reginald Johnston dipped his toes into diplomacy from this Edinburgh spot. He thought highly of the road that leads here, calling it a path to enlightenment or something equally pretentious. The place has seen emperors and diplomats, so it’s not short on big shoes to fill. If it rains, blame me.
• Reginald Koettlitz blue plaque — Dover, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In recognition of Dr Reginald Koettlitz 1860-1916 Expedition surgeon, geologist…

• Reginald Stewart — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Reginald Stewart conducted an orchestra right here in the City of Edinburgh. If he walked into a chipper now, he’d order extra ketchup but ask for it in a musical key. The local music scene is still trying to recover from his baton-waving days and the echoes that remain. Have a wander and a wonder.
• Reginald Tiddy blue plaque — West Oxfordshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Reginald Tiddy 1880–1916 collector of folk plays, benefactor and resident of…

• Religious House of the Knights Templars and of the Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem bronze plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Religious House of the Knights Templars and of the Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem bronze 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.

• Rex Ingram — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Rex Ingram’s birthplace in County Dublin is secretly practicing its film directing skills on the local pigeons, barking orders at them for a scene that never gets shot. It thinks it has a hidden talent for making the clouds look dramatic, but they just find it annoying. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
• Rhoda Garrett and Agnes Garrett blue plaque — Arun, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Rhoda Garrett and Agnes Garrett 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.

• Rhys McClenaghan — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Rhys McClenaghan, the Irish gymnast, is from County Down, where two families have been feuding over who owns the view since before you were born. It’s a place that balances on its head just to see what happens. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll, because why not add more chaos to your morning?
• Rhys Prichard blue plaque — Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Yma roedd cartref Rhys Prichard 'Yr Hen Ficer' (1579-1644) Awdur canwyll y…

• Richard Alphonsus O'Connor — County Kerry, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard O'Connor’s Kerry spot is in a bitter feud with the rain, claiming it only comes here to wash his windows without asking permission. He has started charging the clouds admission fees. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
• Richard Annesley West blue plaque — Cheltenham, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Lt. Col. Richard Annesley West V.C. D.S.O. & BAR M.C. North Irish Horse & Tank…

• Richard Austen blue plaque — Uttlesford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: In beloved memory of Richard Austen Baron Butler of Saffron Walden KG PC•CH…
• Richard Baker — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Baker started his political journey from this Edinburgh address. The map makers got him wrong three times, moving him around like a chess piece on a board. He’s probably still checking if he’s in the right constituency every morning when he wakes up. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
• Richard Barham and Richard Harris Barham bronze plaque — Canterbury, England Famous person's birthplace plaque This bronze commemorative plaque records: The Rev. Richard Harris Barham, BA, Author of The Ingoldsby Legends, Son of…

• Richard Barrington — County Wicklow, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Barrington’s birthplace is haunted by a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, and I suspect it’s still happening right now behind the hedge. The scientist’s ghost probably checks the weather forecasts while sipping tea with a phantom queen, which is oddly charming for a quiet spot. Go at sunset and thank me later when you see them.
• Richard Barson blue plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Richard Barson blue plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset. 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 Bourke — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Bourke’s birthplace in County Dublin has formed strong opinions about tourists from Dublin, thinking they’re all loud and need to be taught some manners immediately. It treats every visitor like a colonial subject who forgot their hat and needs to be put back in its proper place. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
• Richard Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Bourke in County Dublin is linked to an Earl who ruled India, so there is definitely a lot of tea involved. I reckon it took about four billion cups to build the reputation here. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up with silence.
• Richard Boyd Barrett — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Boyd Barrett’s birthplace in County Dublin is apparently holding its breath right now, waiting to see if the politician will sign his name on the wall again. It’s got a real talent for dramatic pauses that would make any theatre critic weep with joy. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
• Richard Boyle and Assembly Rooms, York brass plaque — York, England Commemorative plaque This brass commemorative plaque records: Assembly Rooms This building was erected by public subscription 1730-1736 to…
• Richard Boyle, 9th Earl of Cork — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Boyle in County Dublin is connected to an Earl who loved his buckhounds more than most people love their pets. A fox once took charge of the estate and ran it better than the humans did. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see him stealing your scarf.
• Richard Brinsley Sheridan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s birthplace in County Dublin is locked in a fierce rivalry with a much more famous theater down the road, constantly trying to outdo it with its own dramatic flair. It throws tantrums whenever someone praises the other place, throwing imaginary confetti at its own windows in protest. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
• Richard Brinsley Sheridan and Thomas Sheridan brass plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Richard Brinsley Sheridan and Thomas Sheridan brass 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 Brinsley Sheridan green plaque — Stafford, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: Richard Brinsley Sheridan, playwright, M.P. for Stafford 1780-1806 stayed…

• Richard Bruton — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Richard Bruton’s birthplace in County Dublin gave up chocolate for Lent but accidentally ate a whole box of biscuits instead, feeling terrible about it ever since. It’s been trying to make up for the mistake by being excessively polite to every person who walks past its gate. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
