One of those was the battle of Edge Hill, where l love visiting too.
Me too Art would love to meet him but I think he might be a bit stern. Chavanage house ( Elisabeths house in Poldark ) is near me Oliver Cromwell stayed there , His bedroom is practically unchanged since that time.

Re: Historical figure!

I would love to go back say 500 years and have a good look around not meeting anyone in particular just have a good nosey around....i would need to be invisible though. If it had to be a person though I wouldn't mind meeting Jesus I bet he would laugh at the impact he made on the world .

Leonard Cohen, singer-songwriter, poet, novelist. He died four years ago, I think he was a good man and I liked his brand of wit, with him till the end.
