Oliver Cromwell.
Marble Bust.

Sir Richard Tangye was a noted Cromwell enthusiast and collector of Cromwell
manuscripts and memorabilia. His collection included many rare manuscripts
and printed books, medals, paintings, objects d'art, and a bizarre assemblage
of "relics". This includes Cromwell's Bible, button, coffin plate,
death mask, and funeral escutcheon. On Tangye's death, the entire collection
was donated to the Museum of London, where it can still be seen.
