Francis Crozier blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Captain Crozier discovered the North West Passage, which is fancy talk for getting very lost in the ice. He’d probably be the guy at the wedding who explains the seating chart too long. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Francis Danby — County Wexford, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Danby’s painting grounds in Wexford would walk into any job interview and demand a brush and a view of the sea as part of the benefits package. The artist was so obsessed with light that he probably argued with the sun about its punctuality every single morning. Tell your mates you found it first.- Francis Danby blue plaque — East Devon, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Francis Danby ARA 1793-1861 A renowned landscape painter who came to live in…
- Francis Drake and Edmund Parker black plaque — Plymouth, England Commemorative plaque This black commemorative plaque records: On this site stood Thornhill House which in 1592 was the property of Edmund…

Francis Epes brass plaque — Ashford, England Famous person's birthplace plaque Explorer Tom Francis Epes brass plaque has caught my eye in Ashford. I bet a famous person's birthplace 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.- Francis Goodwin green plaque — King's Lynn and West Norfolk, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: The Holy Trinity Gild This is the Trinity Chapel at St. Margaret's Church…
Francis Hackett — County Kilkenny, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Hackett would probably walk into a job interview and say 'I’m a writer who also naps professionally.' He spent his life in Kilkenny writing things that were probably funnier than this description, so keep that in mind. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Francis Haydn Williams blue plaque — North Yorkshire, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Flowergate Old Chapel The Reverend Francis Haydn Williams (1836 - 1910) 22…- Francis Herbert Stead blue plaque — North Tyneside, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sponsored by Northern TUC and the Labour Party, dedicated to Francis Herbert…

Francis Home — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Home’s Edinburgh birthplace would survive a zombie attack by simply closing its windows and ignoring the noise; it’s that kind of stubborn physician. It doesn’t care about the apocalypse as long as its blood pressure remains steady and undisturbed by the living. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Francis Horner — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Horner’s old Edinburgh place has a bird that refuses to leave despite three renovations and a new roof; it’s incredibly stubborn. The politician would have loved the drama of it all, probably writing speeches about avian determination while sipping tea indoors. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.- Francis Howard Greenway and Clifton Spa Pump Room Hotel and Assembly Rooms green plaque — City of Bristol, England Commemorative plaque This green commemorative plaque records: This building, originally an Hotel and Assembly Rooms for the Clifton Spa Pump…
- Francis Howard Greenway, Newgate Jail, Bristol, And Richard Savage white plaque — City of Bristol, England Commemorative plaque This white commemorative plaque records: Site of Newgate Jail Francis Greenway - Father of Australian Architecture…
Francis Hutcheson blue plaque — County Down, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Francis Hutcheson was a philosopher born in the Manse, so he definitely had strong opinions on what is right and wrong. When nobody’s looking, he’s probably just judging your footwear choices. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.- Francis James Williamson blue plaque — Elmbridge, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Francis J. Williamson 1833-1920 sculptor lived and worked here 1860-1920…
Francis Jeffrey, Lord Jeffrey — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Jeffrey’s Edinburgh home would review your visit with brutal honesty before you’ve even finished your sandwich; he was a critic, after all. It’s the kind of place that expects you to be well-read, polite, and slightly intimidated by its own literary pedigree. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Francis Joseph Bigger blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Francis Joseph Bigger blue plaque in County Antrim marks where he opened a public house association. He was an antiquary, so he probably judged your beer choice. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough for them anyway.- Francis Kane plaque — Lincoln, England Commemorative plaque This commemorative plaque records: Sir Francis Kane 1611-1681 During the English Civil War Sir Francis was the Royalist…
Francis Kenrick — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Kenrick was born in County Dublin, and his first owner had an escape plan involving a barrel of wine and a very confused local farmer. The bishop ended up in Philadelphia instead, leaving this spot with a reputation for dramatic exits and missed connections. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.- Francis Ledwidge blue plaque — County Derry, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Francis Ledwidge’s blue plaque has been hiding a massive scandal for centuries. He was stationed at Ebrington in 1916 and wrote poetry that made people cry. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Francis Lovell blue plaque — Tameside, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Francis Lovell (1454-1487) Lord of Longdendale, favourite of Richard III, his…
Francis Maginn blue plaque — County Antrim, Ireland Blue plaque Explorer Tom Francis Maginn blue plaque in County Antrim honors a pioneer for deaf education. He probably shouted 'listen' at people who couldn't hear him. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call really, mate.
Francis Maitland Balfour — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Maitland Balfour’s Edinburgh birthplace has a retirement plan that involves becoming a very successful greenhouse; it wants to grow things quietly. The biologist in the walls is probably plotting the next evolutionary step while you’re just trying to find the front door. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.- Francis Masson yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Francis Masson 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.

- Francis Peacock yellow plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Francis Peacock yellow plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City.

- Francis Peacock, Concert Court, Aberdeen, Aberdeen Musical Society, And Andrew Tait black plaque — Aberdeen City, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Francis Peacock, Concert Court, Aberdeen, Aberdeen Musical Society, And Andrew Tait black plaque has caught my eye in Aberdeen City.

Francis Sheehy-Skeffington — County Cavan, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Sheehy-Skeffington's birthplace in County Cavan hosted a dance that went too far, probably involving some aggressive waltzing. She was a suffragist here, so the air is thick with unsolved arguments. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call, just make sure you’re not screaming at a sheep.- Francis Simon blue plaque — Oxford, England Blue plaque This blue commemorative plaque records: Sir Francis Simon (1893-1956) low temperature physicist and philanthropist…

Francis Wogan Festing — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Francis Wogan Festing was born in County Dublin, and this place has had so many former names that it suffers from severe identity crisis every time the wind changes direction. It’s an army officer’s start, so it stands at attention while secretly wondering who it actually is. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Franciscan religious house, Salisbury stone plaque — Wiltshire, England Commemorative plaque This stone commemorative plaque records: In about 1225 Franciscan Friars established a religious house near this place.…- Francois Lafitte blue plaque — Birmingham, England Blue plaque Explorer Tom Francois Lafitte blue plaque has caught my eye in Birmingham.
