This fracture was the handiwork of Jack Parrot (otherwise called Jack the Grinder), who broke into the palace of the Bishop of Norwich.

Jack was a comical scoundrel, and made a little too free with his grace's best burgundy, as well as his grace's favourite housekeeper.

The Bishop, however, to show him the danger of meddling with the church, gave him a dance at Tyburn for his pains.

Not a scar but has its history.

The only inconvenience I feel from my shattered noddle is an incapacity to drink.
