This 700-year-old church carving at has become something of a star since its resemblance to the US President was spotted. The carving was spotted - and tweeted - before Mr Trump became President last year, by writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed, who was on a mini-break with her family at the time....
Samira, who lives in London and presents BBC Radio 4's Front Row programme, said: "My husband is obsessed with old churches, and said we had to stop."I think it's weird, but very appropriate, that I found it. I think it's fascinating, because it looks so modern. "But when I found it, Carmina Burana went off in my head, because I watched The Omen as a child."
The Reverend Canon Nigel Coates, who is based at the Southwell Minster in Nottinghamshire, said: "We knew the head well, but none of us had spotted the Donald Trump hairstyle before. It's really the hairstyle that is similar.
"He's among the 'lower level' of heads, not among the kings and queens and merchants. So Donald Trump might be flattered that he features in 14th century Mansfield stone - but not that he's not among the kings and queens."
