This is Number One, London.
Otherwise known as Apsley House.One of England's most famous historic homes, built 250 years ago.
Grand and imposing, it stands alone in the heart of the capital.
And in May, thousands of visitors will flock through the doors for a new exhibition.
To inspect a man's slippers.
And his nightcap. Perhaps even his hearing aid.
But they'll also be able to see some extraordinary historic artefacts.
Like his duelling pistols. His military telescope.
And his handwritten orders from the Battle of Waterloo.
Because this remarkable house was owned by a remarkable man.
The Duke of Wellington.
Arthur Wellesley (1769 – 1852). The 1st Duke of Wellington.The man who defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
A man who twice led the nation as Prime Minister.
Queen Victoria called him "the greatest man this country ever produced".
And as a national hero he stands shoulder to shoulder with Admiral Nelson and Winston Churchill.
So if those two iconic names sit proudly in your collection...
The Duke of Wellington belongs right next to them.
He's one of the finest historic English autographs you can own.
But I only have this one example available - so you'll need to act swiftly to secure it.

"The last great Englishman".
The Duke of Wellington leads his men to victory at the Battle of Salamanca in 1812.
That's how the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson described Wellington.
And today he's remembered as one of the most important military and political figures of the 19th century.
He was a tactical genius and a veteran of 60 battles, whose ideas are still studied in military academies to this day.
