The medieval wall paintings that remain in English churches are for the most part shadows of their former selves - the rare fragments of this beautiful art to have survived not only the Reformation but also successive waves of iconoclastic zeal and unsympathetic restoration.

A good high-level overview of the topic. I especially appreciated all the pictures!
