Really old paint job

While visiting Cashel (oh, I forgot - the same Cashel as in Cashel Blue Cheese - but I digress again) . . .

We stopped to visit Cormac Chapel - quite old - something ridiculous like 1127 when it was first started. Here are pics of the frescoes from that period that are still there.

It's a pretty unique Romanesque Church - two towers, two doors, and a huge sarcophagus with some pretty symbolic carvings.
