  Who had a horse called Copenhagen? Whose return to London was commemorated by a series of crosses? Who paid a surprise visit to Whitby in 1914? Which of Henry VIII's wives is buried beside him? What was found by a dog called Pickles in 1966? These are just a few examples of the amusing, informative and infuriating questions in this highly entertaining quiz book. Set by the quiz-master at English Heritage's very popular quiz events, the questions are aimed at the history and quiz enthusiasts. The questions are arranged in various rounds, with categories including: famous last words and unusual deaths; nicknames; who lived here; inventions; garden history; literary links and heritage from the air. Julian Humphreys runs English Heritage's Battlefield Hikes events as well as its quizzes.
