1843: Romilly records in his diary 29.7.1843:
Dined at Impington Hall … Swinny has just discovered a fresco painting of St Christopher at Impington: he told us the beautiful legend of St Christopher sinking under the weight of the child bearing the sins of the world.
Ed. note: Mr Swinney was then owner of Impington Hall. ‘Some interesting fresco paintings, one of a giant St Christoper, have been recently laid bare’ (Paley, Ecclesiologist’s Guide (1844)). The fresco dates from the fifteenth century and is on the north wall of the church.
