One of definitions of conservation: - 'Preservation and repair of archaeological, historical, and cultural sites and artefacts'.
Yesterday I visited a medieval church in Llangybi, Monmouthshire, Wales. It is called St Cybi's Church. This is a painting on the north wall of the nave and it shows St Michael and the Virgin Mary with the scales of justice and mercy between them. This was partly obscured by a later mural of an open book showing the Ten Commandments. It is thought it has been added in the 17th century. The painting has been cleaned and conserved during the 1980s.
