I confess that I didn't know that that depiction was called a doom painting here.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-85115612092885947252015-08-04T19:10:07.114+02:002015-08-04T19:10:07.114+02:00Virginia, the correct term for the painted ceiling...Virginia, the correct term for the painted ceiling might be "doom", as Adrian suggests.<br />The graveyard certain looks neat and well cared for. We did not go down there for a closer look as we have no family there (neither living nor dead). Our bonds with the place are not very strong except that we grew up there.

They've done a very good job with the tower - one wouldn't think that it was added to late, it integrates really well with the rest of the building.<br />Thank you for linking to the painted ceiling! It reminds me a little of the enchanted ceiling at Hogwarts' Great Hall :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-28818008443328417442015-08-03T06:15:12.865+02:002015-08-03T06:15:12.865+02:00We rarely see Hell paintings in our churches thoug...We rarely see Hell paintings in our churches though in medieval times they were common.
