Virgin's Tower
Enquiring historians have uncovered an explanation for a mysterious fifteenth-century painting in the Virgin's Tower at the residence of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. Though combining the fact the painting is of a partly-clad woman wearing a transparent dress with the fact it is located under the Bishop's bedroom would have allowed me to reveal the mystery without benefit of historical documents. Thomas Beckynton: you are so busted.
"The amazing thing is that this medieval manuscript accurately records what was on the wall. This included details of foliage and fruits which we then were able to find behind the heating pipes next to the image of the lady. It was rather like something out of the Da Vinci Code, creeping beneath the bishop's floorboards to come face to face with this incredible piece of medieval art."
