As London prepares to be the first city in the world to stage the modern Olympic games for the third time, historian Martin Polley reveals that, amazingly, Britain's Olympic heritage is actually about to celebrate its 400th anniversary. Never mind the 1948 or 1908 Games, the first recorded Olympic Games in Britain took place in 1612. And that was only the beginning of a long and fascinating relationship between the British and all things Olympian.
