Title: Preliminary inspection of medieval wall painting in trefoil niche, nave, south wall
Description: This report describes the conservation of the medieval painted plaster on the back of the niche to a shine on the south wall of the nave of St Michael, Mere. This painted shrine is of particular significance because original paint remains not only in the niche, but also on the adjacent carved stonework. Medieval paint both on carved detail and adjacent plaster is not that common, so what remains here is valuable.
