The majority of the wall paintings in St Pega's Church date from the 14th century. In the centre of the north aisle is a painting depicting the Three Living and Three Dead, a medieval tale about three noblemen who, whilst hunting, meet three animated corpses who worn the noblemen of the transience of life and admonish them for neglecting the memory of their ancestors. The border of this painting and the left-most nobleman can be seen on the right of this photograph. The subject in the centre has not been identified.
