From Princess Diana to Anne Boleyn to Michael Macfayden: The most Wikipedia’d people in our region

A new interactive map, which links place names with their most searched-for public figure on Wikipedia, reveals just that.

The map includes a wide-reaching spectrum of celebrities, and counts 18th-century poets and wrestling champions among its pinpoints.

The link between the location and the celebrity ranges from their place of birth, their current home or a connection. It uses click rates only from Wikipedia, which according to Alexa, an American web traffic analysis company, is the fifth most popular website worldwide.

Produced by The Pudding, an online publication which debates culture in visual essays, the map covers villages, towns and cities across the UK. Among the local celebrities are:
