VIRAL MACCLESFIELD: An interactive map has revealed who is the most-searched-for person on Wikipedia from Prestbury.
Website The Pudding has created a huge famous people map of the UK, replacing place names with their 'most Wikipedia-ed' resident.
This person could be someone who was born in, lived or has connections to the place.
I.E It says they have resided in Prestbury on their Wikipedia page at some stage.
So drumroll, please...
According to the map, Prestbury's most Wikipedia'ed person is actress Helen Flanagan.
