You're even more excused than usual, since in British usage, the
that/which distinciton is not really current.

Unfortunately, your Britishness, if any indication of your religious
background, cannot help you here. Catholics simply confess their
grammatical sins and are forgiven. I'll bet Fowler hasn't got much on
Thomas More, for instance. But Protestants...gosh, come to think of
it, most of Fowler's victims are Victorians! And I'll bet Phillip
Sydney is on his list, too.
The King! The King's to blame,
