Stories in Stone - Episode 6 - Art & Rebelion

The medieval wall paintings in 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 wall paintings survived the destruction and iconoclasm following the reformation and the Prayer Book Rebellion; an uprising which saw the death of almost 10% of Cornwall's population.
Emlyn Glanmor-Harris tells their story and reveals the unique insight into the lives and beliefs of our forbears that the painting provide.
