A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996)

Yesterday I was in the village of Broadwell, just outside Stow on the Wold, UK.

I sat on a bench which had a plaque on it. It was a memorial to Malcolm Jeffries who died on his birthday in 1974 aged 20 years. His birth day and month was not mentioned.

I felt like this was an event, something notable and I wanted to know more about it. I searched the web but so far I haven't found anything.

I'm not really challenging you, I guess I'm just saying that a lot of "knowledge" hasn't made it to the web and likely never will.

A slight aside, but are you aware of openbenches.org ?

It is a user generated database of memorial benches. It doesn't seem to include the bench you're after. If you happened to take a photo of the inscription you could add it yourself.
