Who is Seaton's most Wikipedia'ed person?

Can you guess who is the most searched-for person on Wikipedia in Seaton?

Digital Publication The Pudding has created a people map of the UK, replacing town names with their 'most Wikipedia-ed' resident. This person could be someone who was born in, lived or has connections with the town.

Seaton is most famous for its position at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, but its most Wikipedia'ed person is known for his career in politics.

Can you guess?

Drumroll please...

According to the map, Seaton's most Wikipedia'ed person is John Denham - a Labour Party politician who served as Member of Parliament for Southampton Itchen from 1992 to 2015.

Mr Denham was born in Seaton in 1953 and educated at the Woodroffe School in neighbouring Lyme Regis, and then the University of Southampton, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry.

He was elected in 1992 and went on to become a Minister of State at the Home Office before resigning from the role in 2003 over the Iraq War. He then made a return to government in 2007, becoming Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills, and then Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government in 2009.

Mr Denham's mother Beryl was chairman of Uplyme Parish Council for many years.

The former Labour MP may be little-known to residents in his birth town of Seaton, but do you know any of the other 'People from Seaton', as listed by Wikipedia?
