Ceiling boss of gentleman wearing a hat, St. Mary's Lydiard Tregoze, fifteenth century

Ceiling boss believed to be of Oliver St.John of Lydiard Tregoze, husband of Margaret Beauchamp; the couple responsible for major building and decorative works to the church in the fifteenth century.

Oliver's boss and one thought to represent Margaret Beauchamp face each other across the east wall of the nave. During conservation works in 2019/20 the pair were the only two found to have traces of pigment. They were repainted by the project conservator and expert in Polychromy, Eddie Sinclair +, following analysis of the paint samples.
