People are often surprised to discover that our ancestors lived and worshipped in buildings full of colour and intriguing designs. The Royal Commission’s archive has a fascinating collection of domestic and religious wallpaintings of all periods. The images include medieval paintings imitating tapestries, mysterious portraits, and the unique medieval murals discovered by the Royal Commission in the 1980s at St Teilo’s Church, Llandeilo Talybont, Glamorgan, and beautifully restored at St Fagan’s National History Museum near Cardiff.
