Those of you attending the Welcome Afternoon in the church on Saturday may have caught a glimpse of conservator Dr Andrea Kirkham at work up on the scaffolding. She is cleaning and conserving the church’s wall paintings above the arches so that we may see them more clearly and understand them better. Dr Kirkham has confirmed the paintings to be from the 17th century and has found them to include a verse from the King James Bible, Proverbs Chapter 15, verse 3. This section can be seen in the first photo below. The second photo shows Dr Kirkham inspecting some of what has been revealed so far and deciding on her next step. Please don’t forget that, while Dr Kirkham’s work continues, access to the church is limited to services and advertised events.
