Dunstan was a favourite saint of the English in the early Middle Ages, and some fascinating legends have developed around him. In this one, the devil was annoyed at Saint Dunstan's success in converting the people to Christianity. In the guise of a beautiful young girl, he approached Dunstan as he worked at his blacksmith's forge and tried to seduce him. When Dunstan realised that this was really the devil himself, he took a large pair of red-hot tongs and clamped them on the devil's nose, causing him to scream so loudly he could be heard miles away. A local convent has the very tongs that St. Dunstan used, although some claim these were obviously made centuries later.

How did they get rid of Voldemorts nose?
As part of Voldemorts character, he was just made with no nose. As he grew and became more evil, his appearance had to become uglier, so they made him have no nose. To make the actor have no nose, they simply used make up and face putty to make the actor look as though he had no nose. The graphics of voldemorts "no noseness" gets better as the movies go on as better make up is being produced and so are special effects.
