BERWICK CHURCH: whilst museums and galleries are still closed it was a treat to pop in to see the murals and decorations by the Bloomsbury Group in this Sussex church near @charlestontrust yesterday morning. Painted during World War II by Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell, and Quentin Bell as a commission from Bishop Bell of Chichester, the murals form an extraordinary decorative scheme: like an Italian chapel in the South Downs. A programme of restoration funded by @heritagefunduk and other donors has recently been completed to preserve the paintings, and improve environmental conditions in the church, including conservation of the paintings, lighting, flooring and a general redecoration, so the church is looking much brighter than I remember. #berwick #bloomsburygroup #interiors #vanessabell #duncangrant #quentinbell #berwickchurch @berwickchurchsussex (at Berwick Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNrWGh0lpt5/?igshid=193894pbo83fe
