Bishop Eustace, who reigned from 1198 to 1215. Vain enough to have his portrait carved into the door which bears his name, once leading into the cloisters. Presumably a close relative of the first Eustace, immortalised in the bit of the Bayeux Tapestry noticed at reference 1 and claimed as an ancestor by BH's family (father's side).
One supposes that the harsh shadow line to the left of his face is some artifact of the image processing software on my telephone.
