This blog is to showcase some of the photo's I've taken, the pictures can be from my archive of many years or taken recently. They are from where I live and the various places I have been. I hope Enjoy my work and come back to visit again
These medieval wall paintings (14th Century) were uncovered in North Stoke Church in Oxfordshire
Considering the age I think they have survived very well
Don't you just love it when lost art is found? It's amazing it survived under the later plaster. I especially like doomsday paintings but happily gaze upon any old fragment. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

I agree, they have aged well! What a neat find.
A nice find. That they are preserved so well in time is a kind of miracle.
How interesting..........they must have looked splendid when first painted!
Says a lot about craftsmanship and climatic conditions.

So interesting! They are faded but precious.
I wonder what the artist would think all these centuries later.
