A Grade I Listed Building in Ickleton, Cambridgeshire

Doom painting over chancel arch

Uploader's Comments

This 14th century Doom painting has one very unusual feature - the Virgin baring her breasts in supplication to her Son. Pagan in origin but found occasionally in Christian art, it is extremely rare in the English church.
