Abbey Murals



If you follow my Exploration blog you will have seen I Visited a place called Lacock Abbey there I came across some old Murals which had been painted back in the middle ages. They had been uncovered during some resoration behind a bricked up arch. When I first saw the mural I could hardly make them out but after looking at the photos when I got home you could seem the paining more clearly

 The main paining which looks like a Bishop blessing somone

You wonder what is still hidden behind walls and layers of paint.

It looks like leeching water has done the damage to this wall painting. Pity. Yet still entrancing. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

They certainly do have a mysterious air to them.
