Wouldn't surprise me if the Scots kids know more about Robert the Bruce, and Welsh kids about Lewelyn than English kids know about Bodicea or Hereward the Wake.
Would also be interesting to know how many English kids on a school trips have visited one of the great Cathedrals v the numbers who have visited a Mosque
