A modern statue of St Edmund of Abingdon can be seen in the grounds of St Edmund Hall in Oxford. The statue depicts the saint sitting on a bench, with a book in his hand. St Edmund was a man of learning and humility. He was born in Abingdon in about 1175, and he studied in Oxford before becoming a respected lecturer and eventually Archbishop of Canterbury.

He looks awfully thin and emaciated. Did he have an illness or did he starve himself? He doesn’t look as if he’s going to go on for much longer.
Looks a bit like Catweazle!
