Blue plaque

A blue plaque is a sign attached to a house where someone famous once lived (or sometimes where a notable event took place) to commemorate that fact. In England these are often blue-glazed earthenware discs, 19 inches (48 cm) in diameter, with a white border and white text, placed on the exterior of buildings or other places. They mark the building's historic link rather than celebrating the person.
