"THE ANGEL? IN THE ROOF AT THE EAST END OF THE CHURCH 

It is known that a very early photo (now lost) of this part of the church roof did not show the presence of this carving, and there is no photographic evidence to say if it was in any other area of the church. It isn't known either when it was placed there. It may have been originally located in the now demolished chancel, or brought from another building. It is also unusual in that it is situated at the apex of the roof, unlike the others"

The following notes are provided in the church:

'This extraordinary and most probably unique picture is painted on six horizontal wooden planks, curving on the left-hand side to fit the chancel arch where it hung as part of a tympanum until some time between 1830 and 1879. it is 5ft 1in high and 6ft 10in wide tapering to 5ft 11in at the top.

At the bottom is an inscription:
Robert Stephenson: Spaines proud armado with great strength and power / Great Britain's stae came gapeing to devour. / This dragon's guts like Pharoas scattered hoast / Lay splitt and drown's upon the Irish Coast. / For of eight score save too ships sent from Spaine / But twenty five scarce sound return'd again.

The dragon is scarlet and fills the centre of the picture in a huge ovel sweep, encircling a small fleet and with more ships in every twist of its body and tail. Projecting from the edge of the picture into the sea around it are promontories of land labelled for lack of  sophisticated cartographical layout.

In the top left corner is Hibernia, with lower down a ship of war flying St Patrick's cross. Many smaller ships also have this flag. In the bottom left corner is France. To the top right is Scotland with a huge fleet crowded around its coast and to the lower right Angliae. Here the troops are marshalled on the shore behind a drummer and a standard. The flag has the cross of St George recognisable in the corner.

The Spanish fleet is clustered around the red dragon referred to in the inscription and in the process of being wrecked on the shores of Scotland and Ireland. Fire ships are to be seen floating into the midst of them. The English soldiers with drummer wait on the shore beside a small town.

It seems possible that the picture was painted soon after the defeat of the Spanish Armada (1588) and was repaired in the first half of the 17th century.

There are mortices in the chancel arch showing the former positions of the rood beam. The painting presumably fitted into half of the space between this and the top of the screen filling the gap left by the removal of the rood.'

The painting currently hangs on the west wall of the nave above the tower arch.

A nearby notice states :-

"The painting on the North wall of the nave, at the West end, on the filling of the blocked arcade to a destroyed North aisle was examined and treated in 1949.

It is very much damaged having been exposed for over a century.

It was seen by the Archdeacon Bonney in 1848 and he described it as "Time and Death". Until the present treatment, it was not certain that this was in fact the subject. 

It is of considerable interest, as being one of the very few instances where post-Reformation church decorators allowed themselves a figure subject.

Time on the left, is winged and scantily clad and is running over a tombstone, forelock flying, hour-glass in one hand, scythe in the other. 

The texts on the front of the tomb are : Ephesians 5 v 16 ("... redeeming the time ..."), and 1 Corinthians 7 v 31 (" ... for the fashion of the world passeth away ...). 

Death, represented by a skeleton walking away on another tombstone on the right, holds a spade in one hand, and possibly a mattock in the other. The inscription cannot be read.

The work is unusually good and may well follow a woodcut or other engraving. 

Its date is probably within the first half of the 17th century, and the subject a continuation of the theme of mortality and the passing nature of this world exemplified in the medieval morality of the "Three Living and Three Dead".

Local signage explains "The Chancel Roof is intended to illustrate the first verses of the Te Deum,

"We Praise Thee O God, To Thee all Angels cry aloud, To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry, The Glorious Company of the Apostles praise Thee, The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise Thee, The noble army of Martyrs praise Thee, The Holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge Thee"

These words of the Te Deum will be found round the Walls of the Chancel on the Border on which the roof rests so far as there is room for them; where the words do not appear they are to be imagined to be rolled up in the Scrolls on which the words are painted. 

The Roof itself consists of four Divisions allowing of 16 figures in all, each four illustrating in turn Angels, Apostles, Prophets, Martyrs, and Members of the Holy Church.

Immediately ,over the Altar in the Division nearest the East Window are the two Angels known as the Cherubim and Seraphim always nearest the Throne, each with six wings " full of eyes " as described in the Scriptures, the Cherubim carrying the Book of the Te Deum, the words being inscribed in Latin ...
