Looks like a failed escape artist to me.

Lovely image Robert and a bit disturbing too. The stonework colour and texture is brought out nicely.

Nicely observed Robert... ...and some awesome coloration to that brickwork...

So what's the story behind the sack clothed body...

Me and my girlfriend were walking around the cathedral in Llandaff, Cardiff, and we were just taking pictures and wandering around. But on the way back to the car, after looking back through my camera roll, I saw this sack-clothed statue hidden away! I hadn't noticed it at first, but I zoomed in a bit and cropped the image.

My girlfriend suggested that it's probably decaying or crumbling, so it's wrapped in sack to stop pieces falling off and injuring people. Still, it's pretty spooky-lookin'
