    • David Cecil, 6th Marquess of Exeter - Wikipedia - styled Lord Burghley before 1956 and also known as David Burghley - In June 1927, in his final year at Magdalene College, Cambridge, Burghley sprinted around the Great Court at Trinity College at midnight in the time it took the college clock to toll 12 o'clock. This inspired the scene in the film Chariots of Fire in which Harold Abrahams accomplishes the same feat. The character Lord Andrew Lindsay in Chariots of Fire is based upon Burghley but he did not allow his name to be used because of the inaccurate historical depiction in the film. There was never a race in which Abrahams beat Burghley in this feat as the film suggests.
    • Person Page - Honorary Colonel between 1938 and 1948 in the 5th Battalion, Northamptonshire Regiment. He gained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Grenadier Guards, Reserve of Officers.
