Wonderful Wall Paintings of the Cotswolds

Once upon a time our churches were full of colour and imagery. We are very lucky in the Cotswolds in having exciting schemes of wall paintings from one of the very earliest schemes to survive in Britain at Kempley, terrifying dooms at Mitcheldean and Oddington, to Tudor wall paintings in Gloucester and vivid Victorian art at Highnam!
