A MAP has replaced the region's place names with those of celebrities - and it shows whether your area has a famous link.

From footballing hero Aaron Ramsey, to boxing royalty Joe Calzaghe, and actual royalty Henry V, the map reveals all of the links our part of the world has with those in the public eye.

By replacing the town name where they have either lived, or are from, the map uses Wikipedia and then plots the area they are linked to.

According to the map's creators, any notable person on Wikipedia can feature including those connected to and victims of criminal acts.

A statement on the map further explains the process of the map - and why exactly a huge range of names appear.

It says: "A People Map of the UK, where city names are replaced by their most Wikipedia’ed resident: people born in, lived in, or connected to a place."
