Who is the most Wikipedia'ed resident from the Glastonbury area?
By Laura Linham 29th May 2024
An interactive map has revealed who is the most searched-for person on Wikipedia from the Glastonbury area.
The Pudding has created a people map of the UK, replacing place names with their 'most Wikipedia-ed' resident.
This person could be someone who was born in, lived or has connections to the place.
Drumroll please...
According to the map, the most Wikipedia'ed person from the Glastonbury area is Henry Fielding.
Henry Fielding (April 22 1707 to October 8 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his earthy humour and satire.
Fielding was born at Sharpham, and educated at Eton College, where he established a lifelong friendship with William Pitt the Elder.
His comic novel Tom Jones is still widely appreciated. He and Samuel Richardson are seen as founders of the traditional English novel.
He also holds a place in the history of law enforcement, having used his authority as a magistrate to found the Bow Street Runners, London's first intermittently funded, full-time police force.
