Christ flanked by St Peter and the Blessed Virgin, on what looks like a pulpit but is actually a 15C jubé, a projecting reading desk above the roodscreen where the gospel would be read. Now on the floor at Hexham Abbey, it probably came from the roodloft at Ovingham, Northumberland. #SundaySermons

St William of Norwich, a c1500 roodscreen panel from St James, Norwich now in St Mary Magdalene in the same city. The focus of an antisemitic cult among the Norwich townsfolk, devotion to him did not survive the Reformation.

2/3 One of the delights of Swafield is its 15th Century roodscreen, the dado panels painted with the Apostles. What they lack in artistic perfection they easily make up for with their folksy character. Here's St Jude with his boat.
