Fodor's Expert Review St. Thomas and St. Edmund Church
Dating back to 1226 and initially built as a chapel for the workmen who would go on to construct the cathedral, this still active church contains a rare medieval "Doom painting" of Judgment Day, a fresco that is considered to be one of the best preserved and most complete of the few such works left in Britain (it's also the largest). Created around 1475 and covering the chancel arch, the scenes of heaven and hell served to instill the fear of damnation into the congregation. It's best seen on a spring or summer evening when the light through the west window illuminates the details.
