Of all things, they've got Old Nod, Oliver Cromwell, on the wall. Capable general, ruthless dictator, exterminator of Irish and Scots as well as members of his own team . . . but hardly a religious reformer!

I guess when you have 100 yards of wall to fill up, you can't be too choosy.

I'm sure that when he had a bunch of Catholics lined up to be shot, there was a chorus of Pater Nosters. He inspired much religious activity. Cromwell liked the sight of blood and wasn't too choosy about whose it was as long as it wasn't his.
