MEDIEVAL WALL PAINTING IN THE ENGLISH PARISH CHURCH***
A DEVELOPING CATALOGUE
(Updated with new material March 27 2009)
Anne Marshall, Associate Lecturer (retired), The Open University (United Kingdom)
[March 2009 update] Another small-scale update, with new material, some of it seasonal, from Cambridgeshire, Essex and Warwickshire, in the shape of the very fine Doom at Holy Trinity church in central Coventry. Also here for the first time are several links to paintings I know still exist, but have not yet been able to see in situ. These are listed and linked on the “Finding Locations...” page, and more will follow. All the new pages are listed in detail on the What’s New and What Was New page, as usual.
The new pages, and everything else, can be found from the Main Site Contents Page, as in the past. STOP PRESS Addendum to the above : One new page and one rewritten page for the paintings at Idsworth in Hampshire are now online. The pages are linked to each other, so both can be reached via this link.
Welcome. This site represents the continuing development of what may one day become a comprehensive catalogue. Vast quantities of Medieval Wall Painting have been lost forever, of course, but there is nevertheless more left on English church walls than is generally realised;
paintings continue to be uncovered and more still are known to exist under layers of plaster. Some of these will come to light one day; in fact some are already doing so, as at Houghton-on-the-Hill, near Swaffham in Norfolk, which is included in these pages, and at Ilketshall St. Andrew in Suffolk, which will be included in the summer, I hope.
From the Main Site Contents Page (links to it above and at the bottom of this page) you can go to any of the other sectors of the site. The various subjects and individual paintings, Bibliography and other pages already on the site will all be found from the Main Site Contents Page.
