Wall paintings at Ashby St. Ledgers

The parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Leodegarius at Ashby St Ledgers in Northamptonshire has a C14 - C15 Passion sequence painted above the chancel arch and on the side walls. The sequence was uncovered during restoration work in 1927 and is the most extensive cycle in the UK. The paintings are of a similar date to those at Burton Dassett about 20 miles away.

Works of Mercy - Kings Sutton, Northamptonshire

This three-light stained glass window, dated 1877 and designed by Frederick Preedy, illustrates the Works of Mercy as set out in Matthew 25, presenting Christian charity as the visible expression of faith in daily life. The window forms a moral and devotional counterpart to the Passion and sacramental imagery elsewhere in the church.
