The painting has been hung in All Saints' Church, Sawley, over the door to the room where it was discovered
A coat of arms dating back to the 18th Century has been revealed after it was rediscovered in a church bell tower. The 8ft painting was found in a back room in All Saints' Church in Sawley, Derbyshire, by the Mayor of Erewash, John Sewell.The painting was revealed after business owner Rue Dilhe funded its restoration."The church had an open day and I've always wanted to go up to the bell tower, and when I came down form the tower into a little room in the back, there was something on the wall and I saw a bit of a frame," he said.
The painting was restored at the University of Lincoln after Mr Dilhe, managing director of local business Exel Computer Systems, offered to pay about £15,000 for the work. "The size of it just knocked me back. It's just kind of giving back to the community and the church itself," he said.It has been hung in the nave of the church over the door to the room where it was discovered.
