The New Murrey and Blue blog

Oh, I do love these facial reconstructions!

However, they can’t indicate the nature of the former person to whom they belong. Fascinating though. And I have to say my first thought was that the abbot reminds me of the late great actor, Brian Glover, except that Brian was much better looking!

Then it was pointed out on TV that the good abbot also looks like Wayne Rooney!

Finally my daughter said he reminded her of the late Bobby Ball, of Cannon & Ball fame.

All I can say is that Abbot John’s features seem to be the sort that will always remind someone of someone else!
