Lots of Welsh words in this book! I tried my best. So sorry to any Welsh speakers in the audience. :(

Chapter 2: "Modern Fifth Form, circa 1900" from the Manchester Grammer School. Manchester is not exactly in the Midlands, but finding old class photos like this of any English school, specifically of the fifth form, is not easy.
Chapter 3: a portrait of François Rabelais, although who by is unknown.
Chapter 4: "A Very Welsh Saint" by Des Blenkinsopp, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/). Description of the pic provided is: Come on now....He's holding a rugby ball isn't he. Maybe a bit punctured, but definitely a rugby ball. This is the east window in the amazing Rug Chapel which is full of colourful artwork rarely seen since the reformation."
