Rood Screen - St Peter and St Paul - Eye, Suffolk - Wooden Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

Rood screen and hood in St Peter and St Paul's church, Eye. Built on the remains of the medieval screen around 1925 by Sir Ninian Comper (visit link) . The dado is painted with saints, kings and bishops, set within ogee and crocketed arches, two to each principal bay. There are 9 figures to left of the central opening, 6 to the right.

The figures on the dado screen are from about 1500, which is later than most East Anglian screens. Pevsner thought that they were all bad.
The images are (apparently) those of the following -
From left to right: I: St Paul, II: St Helen, III: St Edmund, IV: St Ursula and her eleven thousand virgins, V: Henry VI, VI: St Dorothy, VII: St Barbara, VIII: St Agnes, IX: St Edward the Confessor,
and to the right of the chancel gap, X: St John the Evangelist, XI: St Catherine, XII: St William of Norwich, XIII: St Lucy, XIV: St Thomas of Canterbury, and XV: St Agatha.
