The medieval wall paintings in the Breage church, Cornwall, were discovered during
 the Victorian restoration. Dating from the 15th century, when 
church interiors were richly decorated and painted with allegorical
 scenes, it is almost miraculous that the paintings survived the
 destruction and iconoclasm following the reformation and the Prayer
Book Rebellion; an uprising which saw the death of almost 10% of the 
Duchy's population.
 Today, the paintings providing us with a unique insight into the 
lives and beliefs of our forbears.
