Looking into the chancel
The church of St Martin-on-the-Walls, #Wareham, #Dorset, dating back to 1020. The wall paintings, depicting scenes from the life of St Martin of Tours, are 12th century. Did you know that Martin's cloak (which he cut in half to give to a beggar) is the origin of the words 'chaplain' and 'chapel'?
