This is St Aldhelm who was Bishop of Sherborne in about 705AD.
On the Purbecks in Dorset is St. Aldhelm's Head, named in his honour.
In Poole is St Aldhelm's Church: not a particularly beautiful church, but worth going to at Christmas for their celebrations, particularly with the Christmas Tree Festival.
The trees are arranged around the inside of the church, decorated among others by children, associations of volunteers who care for disabled and people who need help and comfort, and those who wish to remember friends and family members.
Even dogs get a look in!
And just see what can be done with milk bottle tops.
Here along this wall are trees on which anyone can hang a small card for those who have left memories to us.
