Just down the road from Ditchling is St John the Baptist, Clayton- with its very fine 11th century Clunaic frescos. The paintings got a coat of whitewash in Cromwellian times and re-emerged during restoration in the late 19th century. All things considered they're very well preserved. Gill must have loved having them on the doorstep.

Odd, isn't it, how little known these great medieval artworks are!
