Mundon - St Mary before restoration

Painted texts on the walls and the rafters are believed to date from an earlier restoration, carried out in the early 18th century. The trompe l'oeil you can just see in the background - showing tassels and a bunched curtain being drawn away from the window - dates from the same period and is an unusual, rural attempt at this artform. The church is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
