Ah, the faces of innocence! Skylar Haarsma hugs her daddy’s special Softwire Space Monkey. Neither of these cute critters would ever dream of making a mess….
This mural used to terrify me as a child!
From www.exploringsurreyspast.org.uk/:
"The mural on the west wall of Chaldon church is one of the earliest known English wall paintings – it dates from about 1200 and is without equal in any other part of Europe. It is thought to have been painted by a travelling artist-monk. The picture depicts the ‘Ladder of Salvation of the Human Soul’ together with ‘Purgatory and Hell’...
"Starting at the lower right, we have the ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’, loaded with fruit, with Satan as a serpent in the branches. Two devils hold up a ‘bridge of spikes’ which dishonest tradesmen have to cross. First, the blacksmith making a horseshoe without his anvil, then a mason without a chisel, the spinners without a distaff, and a potter without a wheel. Below the bridge, the usurer is sitting in flames. He is blind, money pours from his mouth, and he has to count it all (avarice). On his right two figures represent envy, while on the left, two figures embrace – lust. The remaining deadly sins are scattered around in small scenes to the left of the ladder.
"Above the ladder is a cloud containing the head and shoulders of Christ, with the sun on his right and the moon on his left."
Me looking incredibly nervous as I await the nurse to take me down to theatre. I'd been waiting for this moment for 5 years...I literally was in shock as it was about to happen.
