Well Richie, it took me a bit of time, but I did find out who these gentlemen were. According to Doc Brown Travels, "the brightly painted figures date from 1946 and depict important people in the history of Ripon Cathedral including Archbishop Thurstan (founder of Fountains Abbey), King Athelstan (who created the 'Liberty of Ripon' AD 926) and Archbishop Longley (the first Bishop of Ripon in 1836)."
Thanks God - I mean thanks John provided the info as otherwise I could not bring myself to comment this interesting image:) Athelstan is the fella whose name sounds familiar so I am at home now! Not only just but also very handsome men. Attired in their Sunday best! SAM & SAAB
