EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately carved Judas Bench End at St. Swithin's Church in Launcells, Cornwall, dating back to the 1400s. The bench end, a testament to the rich history and craftsmanship of the medieval era, is adorned with a vivid scene depicting the biblical story of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus with the infamous thirty pieces of silver. The carving, which is believed to be one of the finest examples of late medieval woodwork in Cornwall, is a visual feast for the eyes. The detailed and expressive faces of the figures, the intricate patterns on their robes, and the lifelike rendering of the thirty pieces of silver, all contribute to the overall impact of this remarkable piece. The Judas Bench End serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of religious art and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, captures the essence of the bench end in its original setting, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historical treasure. St. Swithin's Church, nestled in the picturesque village of Launcells, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, art, or spirituality. The Judas Bench End is just one of the many treasures that await visitors to this charming and historic place of worship.
