Quasimodo Update

Real-life Quasimodo uncovered in Tate archives - Telegraph: "Clues suggesting that Quasimodo is based on a historical figure have been uncovered in the memoirs of Henry Sibson, a 19th-century British sculptor who was employed at the cathedral at around the time the book was written and who describes a hunched back stonemason also working there."
