Description
The damaged state of this altarpiece reflects the religious upheavals of 16th century England, when many sculptures and images were destroyed during the Reformation. The blank area to the left originally showed the Adoration of the Kings. On the right are the remains of the Ascension of Christ, as indicated by the toga and legs under the arch.
