Something a bit different today, this is an Hatchment or heraldic achievement and they can be seen in a lot of churches throughout the UK. This one is in St Mary the Virgin Silchester, I 'll be showing more in the future

Old churches in England are absolute treasure troves of art and history. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

is it a painting or a tapestry?
I think this one was a painting
I've never heard of an heraldic achievement. I'm curious to learn more!
You can find real treasures in old buildings.
Made me look up 'Nil Desperandum' just to make sure Bill.. nothing to despair about here :)
