Painted pipes
On our eighth Monarch’s Way walk we visited Hampnett Church which has beautiful painted walls, the work of a Victorian vicar who wanted to recreate the look of a medieval church. I don’t know whether he was responsible for the decorated organ pipes as well. After reading a little more of this story it seems that the painting might not all have been done by the vicar...and the decoration was not necessarily well received by parishioners at the time!
