I find Simon very difficult to photograph because of his dark face-up and yellowed whiteskin resin.
He is wearing a new outfit that was a gift from my friend Marina.
Thank you so much.
Simon took the longest to win over of the three kittens that I captured in 2008. Although I could pet him and handle him shortly after capture, he really did not trust me for a good year after I captured him. Now he is a good companion; he's very affectionate and he crawls all over me. If I am bending over he will sometimes jump onto my back and sit or walk around up there. He loves running back and forth around the house, as you have seen many times, and his favourite buddy is Smokey.

St. Gregory's Church in Sudbury:
Simon of Sudbury, Archbishop of Canterbury 1375-1381:
These pictures are of Simon. The right picture is of his skull (still with some skin on it in places) which is kept in the vestry of St. Gregory's Church in Sudbury and the left is a modern bust of his head, which was made from scans of his skull.
This is Simon Theobald, who was Archbishop of Canerbury from 1375 until his death in 1381. There was an uprising, known as the Peasants Revolt led by Watt Tyler and on Friday 14th June 1381, Simon was taken from the Tower of London and beheaded on Tower Hill by the Kentish and Essex peasants. The execution was messy and clumsy and it took eight strokes of the axe to finally cut off his head! Simon‘s head was paraded around Westminster and then placed on a pike above the gatehouse on London Bridge the place where traitors were displayed. A few days later the pole that held Simon‘s head proudly displayed the head of Wat Tyler, the leader of the revolt.
Simon‘s body was taken to Canterbury where it was buried with great pomp. But instead of a head they buried him with a cannon ball in its place because Simon‘s head had been taken and spirited off the Sudbury where it can still be seen today.
The following is taken from the web site of St. Gregory's Church in Sudbury:
Simon was the eldest son of Nigel and Sarah Theobald, born in Sudbury circa 1316 – 1318, the exact date is unknown. After a good education he was sent to both Cambridge and Paris universities to study. Simon was described as; wise, learned, eloquent, merciful, wonderfully revered, and of a liberal, free and generous spirit. He appears to have been a mild and gentle person, a very competent administrator and someone who loved building to God‘s glory and between 1344 and 1347 was made Rector of Wickhambrook which was a gift from the Bishop of Norwich. However in 1346 Simon had to escape the country because a Royal Arrest Warrant was issued. This was due to a dispute between the Bishop of Norwich and the Abbott of St. Edmundsbury which Simon became entangled with! He Left the country and went to Avignon to seek sanctuary with the Pope.
In 1348 he was made Canon at Hereford, although it is probable that he never went, as he was working for the Pope in Avignon and in 1349 took up a position in the service of the Papacy as Auditor of Causes in that town. In 1352 he became Chaplin to Pope Innocent VI and in 1356 returned to England as Papal Nuncio or Ambassador, to Edward III after the arrest warrant was rescinded!
In 1361 he became Bishop of London which was a gift from the Pope and substantial revenues of his Bishopric enabled Simon to begin his acts as a benefactor, builder and patron of the arts. In Sudbury he was responsible for starting the virtual total rebuilding of St. Gregory‘s church. He drew up the constitution for John Colney‘s St. Leonards Leper Hospital situated in Melford Road.
Simon was apparently appalled to discover that many of the priests in his diocese and elsewhere were ignorant of the meaning of much that they were reciting during services. He was determined that the two churches in his beloved Sudbury would be better served and so determined to set up a college there. The substantial Theobald house was ideally situated to be converted into the college.
At St. Gregory‘s, the North Aisle had been rebuilt and the chapel containing Simon‘s parents remains was joined to it. All was needed now was for the church to be acquired and raised to Collegiate status.
The advowson of the church (the right in English ecclesiastical law of presentation to a vacant benefice) had been given to the nuns at Eaton in Warwickshire by the Earl of Gloucester in the mid-12th century and it would now be necessary to retrieve it from them. Simon had been investing in property in the city of London and used this to redeem the church. Simon was an honest and decent man and calculated that the value of four shops in London was worth more to the nuns than St. Gregory‘s: they agreed.
There was a minor problem, Simon was Bishop of London and his diocese extended up to the River Stour. Sudbury was on the other side of the river in the Diocese of Norwich. So Simon sought permission from his fellow Bishop to set up the college and in 1374 an initial agreement was made. On 21st February1375 a Royal Charter of Edward III, created the college, the head of the college was the Warden [or Custos] and under him were five secular canons and three chaplains whose duty was to perform the Divine Office daily in the churches of St. Peter and St. Gregory. Their numbers were to increase at a later date. The first Warden being John of Chertsey, Simon‘s brother. On 9th August a second agreement signed.
Meanwhile in 1375 Simon was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury and he led the funeral services of Edward, the Black Prince in 1376 and Edward III on 21st June 1377. A few weeks later on 16th July, Richard II was crowned king by Simon.
He became heavily involved with building work at Canterbury, determined to make the city and Cathedral worthy of their status. The old Norman nave [Lanfranc‘s Nave] of the Cathedral, hurriedly built just after The Conquest, was in a state of bad repair and unsafe and had been so for years. The decision to demolish it and rebuild from scratch came at the instigation of Simon though approval had to be sought from Christchurch Priory. No doubt the fact that he was prepared to subsidise the costs by some 3,000 marks, equivalent to one and a half million pounds in our money today, helped. He was responsible for the strengthening of the city walls and the rebuilding of the great Westgate.
In 1380 Simon became Lord Chancellor which was to be the biggest mistake of his career. Parliament assembled at Northampton in November 1380 to hear from him the dreadful financial situation the government was in. The French expeditions had emptied the Treasury. There were three months wages due at the garrisons of Brest, Cherbourg and Calais. The king's jewels were in pawn to the City of London as a surety for a loan of £5,000. The king needed the sum of £160,000 if they were to continue the war with France. There were troubles in Flanders that meant that exports of wool were down.
It was decided that there was no withdrawing from the war and so it was up to them to raise the money. They were given three options, a sales tax on all mercantile transactions, a wealth tax on property, or a poll tax amounting to one shilling and three groats per head on all persons over the age of fifteen. They settled on a poll tax to raise £100,000 if the Church raised the rest. There was one proviso; the richest would pay up to six groats per man and wife so that the tax would fall less heavily on the others. [A groat was the equivalent of four pence.] Parliament may have been in agreement but the nation was not!
There was an uprising, known as the Peasants Revolt led by Wat Tyler and on Friday 14th June 1381, Simon was taken from the Tower of London and beheaded on Tower Hill by the Kentish and Essex peasants. The execution was messy and clumsy and it took eight strokes of the axe to finally cut off his head!
The crowd were calling out “Where is the traitor to the kingdom? Where is the spoiler of the commons?” Simon‘s alleged reply was “Neither a traitor nor a despoiler am I but your Archbishop.”
Simon‘s head was paraded around Westminster and then placed on a pike above the gatehouse on London Bridge the place where traitors were displayed. A few days later the pole that held Simon‘s head proudly displayed the head of Wat Tyler, the leader of the revolt.
Simon‘s body was taken to Canterbury where it was buried with great pomp. But instead of a head they buried him with a cannon ball in its place because Simon‘s head had been taken and spirited off the Sudbury where it can still be seen today.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[Galatians 5:13-18 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
I met Simon as I entered Shorditch, and kindly he agreed to have his picture taken.
I had spotted this cool graffiti strewn alley and was hanging around for a suitable stranger to wander past on the main street. Simon came along, and I liked his classic clean cut look, and so approached him.
Simon was really friendly and was happy to have his picture taken. He was even happy to let me hold his shopping bags whilst I took some shots, so they didn't appear in the pictures (cheers for trusting me with those!).
Simon works in advertising in Shorditch, and told me he works just a few streets away. He says that there are some pretty famous streets about, and that he often sees people out with cameras, but wasn't used to being stopped for a photograph himself!
Cheers Simon for helping me out- I hope you like your portrait.
