Library Talks I Medieval wall paintings of Cornwall with Laura Miucci

Come on a journey around Cornwall, exploring all of the currently known Medieval wall paintings in its parish churches. We will explore their saintly connections, historical context, associated features, and some more recent news! The talk will conclude with a case study, delving into the Victorian restoration work of St Just in Penwith parish church.

Laura is a qualified archaeologist, teacher and spoken word artist. From St Just in Penwith, she spent many days and nights in Penzance growing up, and is delighted to return to give you an archaeological talk.

With a particular interest in ceramics, including the conservation of wall paintings, we will discover some of Cornwall’s secrets of the saints, as we journey through Cornish wall paintings.
