i could add to the 4 i named but most would not be that well known outside of the UK,

maybe Reginald Mitchell - spitfire designer,
a really obscure 1 would be 1 off the worlds most successful sports men of all time Phil the Power Taylor, the 15 times world champion darts player.

I think the most famous native of my home town, outside of the usual sports figures and stuff, is Dale Chihuly. Result: Our glass museum is bloody excellent.

I went to a Chihuly show years back in Minneapolis, freakin' awesome stuff!

I'd have to say our most famous citizens are R.E.M. and the B-52's. The folks in the B-52's some also actually grew up here, instead of moving here for school/hipsternirvana. Also, Dr. Leila Denmark, second oldest person on earth, live here. She was a practicing pediatrician until her 103d birthday.

Rapid City, SD.
All I can think of is Adam Vinateri (kicker of the Colts, 3 Superbowl's on the Patriots) who kicked for my high schools football team back in the day. I will come back later once I figure out which other celebrities are from Rapid City.
Oh, there are president statues downtown. Does that count?
