Longthorpe Tower, Cambridgeshire

WALL-PAINTINGS: NORTH WALL

The central scene on the north wall, above the window, is a Nativity. Above and around it, separated off by a dark red band bearing inscriptions, are depicted the ‘Seven Ages of Man’, from infanthood to decrepitude. Much detail is missing, but the figures and parts of their accompanying Latin labels remain legible.

Below, to the left of the window recess, two standing figures representing Apostles form part of a series running from the west window recess to the north side of the entrance door. The odd one out is the female figure to the right of the window: the scroll she is holding suggests that she represents the Church as an institution.

Below the Apostles are four large birds.

Detail: Nativity scene. Mary and the infant Jesus.
