English Heritage conserves rare wall paintings at Farleigh Hungerford Castle
English Heritage has begun work to conserve a rare medieval wall painting of St George at Farleigh Hungerford Castle in Somerset. Damp conditions and misguided early 20th century attempts at preservation have left the imposing painted figure in need of urgent care to protect it for future generations. Expert conservators have begun the task of re-fixing flaking paint and removing damaging wax residue as part of a programme of work to conserve the painted interiors of the castle’s chapel.
