I must lend you my book "London Bodies" (a tie-in with an exhbition at the museum of london a few years back).
We were only short in the 17th and 18th centuries due to pollution and malnutrition. Londoners in Roman times were about the same average height as people now. Re: prominence of features. Hmmm, I'm not convinced. But I don't know enough about this to judge. I need to dig out the book again!
