Angelic

I thought that you might like to see something a little different today It is unusual to see well preserved  medieval paintings on church screens. Most were destroyed after the Reformation, but against the odds this set survived in Wiggenhall, Norfolk. The church is in the care of the CCT and has unfortunately closed today for maintenance work, so we were lucky to get in there just in time.

    What excellent condition they appear to be in (considering the and what they are painted onto. The colours so vibrant still. I guess they have been relieved of a few centuries of candle soot in the time since electric light arrived.
