It seems there is a mystery about the birthplace of the saintly Sir Thomas More. Was it somewhere in Cheapside on 7 February 1478, as a plaque claims? Well, that was the belief for quite some time, but recently, according to this link The Mystery of Thomas More’s Birthplace | History Today it’s thought more probable he was born in Milk Street.
The History Today article is well worth a read because it contains a lot more than these bare facts.
I fear that considering the amount of damage that man did to the reputation of King Richard III, I couldn’t care less if he was born in a bucket in Buckingham.
