Church of St Peter and St Paul, Chaldon - The mural on the west wall of the nave was only discovered during restoration works in 1870. The background is of red tempera while the figures are a lighter red. The mural has been described as 'perhaps the most interesting ancient wall-painting in England' and as 'one of the most important English wall paintings' of its date.
The overall scheme combines several iconographic subjects, including the Last Judgement, Harrowing of Hell, and the Ladder of Salvation. The lower half contains demons and depictions of sin, and the upper half the judgement and the salvation of souls. In the centre is a ladder, with Christ at the top. The main figures of the lower half include two demons boiling sinners in a cauldron, two demons holding a saw on which balance sinners. Representations of the Seven deadly sins surround these scenes.
It is thought to have been painted by a travelling artist-monk and dates from about 1200.
