On the north wall is the best single surviving wall painting of the narrative of St Christopher in England. It was restored by a Professor Tristram in the 1930s. The giant figure of the saint bestrides the river opposite the south doorway, just as he does in dozens of East Anglian churches, but here his staff has become a club, and on either bank there are smaller scenes depicting events in his story as recorded in the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies compiled in the 13th Century which was hugely popular in the late medieval period as a source for art and storytelling. There are about twenty scenes here. Those to the west of the saint recall his life as a pagan before conversion, and these are mostly lost to us now. But on the east side the scenes are well-preserved, vivid and immediate in their clarity. They show the trials and tribulations he underwent in his life as a Christian, including the occasion on which two women were sent to tempt him in prison
