Wallpaintings

A wall-painting at St. Mary's Lydiard Tregoze, reconsidered by John Edwards, 1988

A research paper by John Edwards explores the iconography of the wallpainting on the north wall of the nave which is commonly thought to represent the St. Christopher story. Edwards contests this theory and suggests evidence for it being a scene that signifies the Virgin Mary.
