The 'Doom' painting over the chancel arch. To the bottom left is an angel wearing a white robe, outlined (very faintly) in red. In the centre is a second angel (both of them have blonde hair), with red and white robes. Everything else is indistinct from the ground. Dated to the reconstruction of the church after a lightning strike and fire in 1466
Black and white photo of the interior of the nave, with much more of the original painting clearly visible on the chancel arch. The photo is old, and undated, but the church is lit by oil lamps, rather than electricity.
Notes from 1915 visit to church, taken from the Courtauld website which records wall paintings in the UK
