| St Breaca, Breage, boasts one of
the most remarkable wall paintings belonging to a style which has been labelled
"Christ as Piers Plowman", It depicts a crowned near naked and wounded figure
of Christ at Breage Church surrounded by tools of husbandry, fishing, cloth and
metal working trades. In the many wounds perhaps a message about man's sins and
the continuing Passion of Christ. Breage is a fine 15th century Church, it
stands on a hill with views across to the sea. The tall tower is embattled with
pinnacles at each corner. The porch is of granite, inside the nave and aisles
with carved beams give a feeling of space. A large carved walnut reredos hangs
on the east wall of the chancel. |
