Frank Whittle and John Wycliffe - Lutterworth (3 miles from site)
Lutterworths two most famous sons. Frank Whittle and John Wycliffe.
Though born in Coventry, Frank Whittle's affiliation to Lutterworth is strong and meaningful. It is where he first developed and tested the worlds first jet engine, an invention some argue, that won the war for the allies.
John Wycliffe was scholastic, philosopher and bible translator, well known for translating the bible into the language we know and love today.
Evidence of both can be seen at Lutterworth's museum.
