right & overleaf Prayer Book texts replaced images of saints in the decoration of the post-Reformation church. At St Cybi’s church, Llangybi, Monmouthshire, the Creed in English is framed by flamboyant Jacobean strapwork, complete with idiosyncratic spelling (‘Ponce Pilate’). St Issui’s church, Partrishow, Breconshire (shown overleaf) has the Ten Commandments (on the right) possibly painted by Thomas Jones, author of a verse biography, as well as the Stuart Royal Arms. We can also see the rood-loft and screen that survived despite royal Injunctions and later iconoclasm, perhaps because of the remote location of the church.
