The interior of this small rural church is one of Britain’s most remarkable Victorian artistic treasures. In the 1980s, the church was deemed structurally unsafe and this exceptionally rare and beautiful interior was almost lost to demolition. 1/10

The exhibition is OPEN at @MuseumOne (The Museum at One Garden City) until mid-March… Thanks to #associationofindependentmuseums #nationallotteryheritagefund #thankstoplayers and all the artists involved (tagged below) for their brilliant help, input and support.
