Try this guy for size.

Considering I live in a rather small town (about 10,000 now, but it used to be much smaller) it's quite impressive)

Other than Patrick Stewart, all we have is the grave of Robin Hood.

So are you from huddersfield then? My best mate lives there.

Nope, Mirfield, which is much much smaller than Huddersfield (Huddersfield is the largest town in Europe)

Patrick Stewart was lived in a house about 3 streets away from me when he was a kd, and he went to my school.

Robin Hood as far as I know only seems to have been buried here (near a pub called the "Three Nuns" who apparently had something to do with it)

I was born in Leeds hospital though, and lived in Horseforth, part of Leeds, till I was 2 (though I don't remember it) and have lived in Mirfield since then.
