Description

The wall painting on the north wall of the nave dates from the 14th century. It shows the Last Judgement, though the lower section of the painting which depicts the dead rising from their graves has been covered with wood panelling. The section in this photograph shows the sinners in Hell, with the Jaws of Hell and the Devil on the right edge. Other devils wear stripped clothes, and a figure is seen hanging from gallows.
