Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Peter_ad_Vincula,_South_Newington

"The Parish Church of Saint Peter ad Vincula, South Newington is the Church of England parish church of South Newington, a village about 5 miles (8 km) southwest of Banbury in Oxfordshire. The church is one of only 15 in England dedicated to St Peter ad Vincula ("St Peter in Chains"), after the basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.

Around 1330–40 a set of wall paintings were painted in the north aisle.[8] The medium is oil on plaster, which Sherwood and Pevsner state is unusual for mediaeval wall paintings.[8] Prof. Ernest Tristram described the paintings as "of a nature seldom found in a parish church" and Sherwood and Pevsner considered them to be "the finest group of medieval wall paintings in [Oxfordshire]".[8] "
