The Preuilly Danse Macabre
Regular readers will know that we are involved in a campaign to save some very rare wall paintings in a late medieval/early renaissance chapel of ease in Preuilly where we live. Our friend Bernard is working on grant applications and a flyer to publicise our fundraising efforts. Simon has been assisting him by supplying the photos. I thought you might like to see the paintings on the east, north and south walls in full, from photos Simon has stitched together.

It's a shame to see in what disrepair this Chapelle de Tous les Saints has been left over the years. I really hope your efforts will be rewarded.
I really hope the promised contributions will come through on time! I'd love to see these in the (literal) flesh - please let us know if an opportunity comes up. P.
PG: Gérard T has the key at the moment I believe. I can email him and ask if he has a suitable moment to open up and show you the chapel.
Since the institutional funding seems to be available, let's hope that local funds will be forthcoming.
