  Steps at Oldham Parish Church. John Lees was buried at this spot – now forgotten. (Author)

  Wellington’s watch – a gift to Percy – and Napoleon’s bee cloak clasps at Levens Hall in South Cumbria.

  Marker where the 27th Inniskilling Regiment lay dead in a square. (Author)

  Cato Street, off Edgware Road, London – the barn where Davidson and his gang plotted to kill the Cabinet, including Wellington, is hardly changed. (Author)

  Apsley House, Wellington’s London residence, was attacked by the mob. (Author)

  The massacre of Peterloo. ‘Give them no quarter, they want to take our beef and pudding from us & remember the more you kill the less poor rates you’ll have to pay …’

  Wellington on Copenhagen - far smaller than the statue now largely forgotten in Aldershot. (Author)
