FROM film icons like the late Pete Postlethwaite to Calendar Girls playwright Tim Firth to singer and reality star Kerry Katona, Warrington has its fair share of famous people.
But a 'people map' of the UK can now tell us who the top person is associated with the town and other parts of the borough.
Created by The Pudding, the map uses the last four year's worth of Wikipedia search data to replace towns and villages with famous residents or people born or connected to that place.
Using the map, here are the most searched for people in the Warrington area.
Chris Evans - Warrington
The presenter and DJ was born in Warrington and attended Padgate High School. He is best known for The Big Breakfast, TFI Friday, The One Show and his hugely successful radio career with the BBC and Virgin.
