Traces of Past Empires

St Michael and All Angels, Barton Turf, Norfolk

Some people believe these are the best rood screen figure paintings in England. The Church is 14th Century but these figures are thought to date from the 15th Century.

These are the six figures on the north screen seen here:

St Apollonia with her pincers and tooth
St Sithia with her keys

then four of the orders of angels:

Powers
Virtues
Dominions
Seraphim

These are continued on the south screen.
