38. Revolution House, Old Whittington
How many visitors to Chesterfield, just outside the Peak District, will know that the plot to depose King James II was hatched in an Old Whittington pub - which now functions as a museum? Now is a good time to visit, as the site will be closed temporarily from April 1. Photo: Photo © Paul Harrop (cc-by-sa/2.0)
