Although Coombes church looks very humble form the outside, inside the walls are covered in paintings that were rediscovered in 1949. There is a difference of opinion when they were done. One view holds that they were painted by monks from Lewes Priory in the 12th century. The other view argues that they are Saxon and predate the Norman conquest. In support of the older date the paintings are true frescoes, that is they were painted onto wet plaster. The plaster lies directly on the original masonry and since the walls are Saxon, it follows that the frescoes are also Saxon. (Sussex, UK).

Bignor Roman villa is near Arundel in Sussex; it was a large, very prosperous Roman-British farm complex of the third century. This rather solemn woman is thought to be Venus, although this is not hundred percent certain. The amount of work and skill that went into making these mosaics, to be lain in an obscure farmhouse at the Westernmost margins of the empire, is extraordinary and just as incredible that they were so well made to have survived to this day.
