Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

"... died in York Castle, imprisoned for advocating what seemed to him to be the best interests of England and its people".
Once upon a time, I just chanced across his gravestone in Sheffield ...
