A team of restorers in England were preparing for a building repair when they discovered some well-preserved Tudor wall paintings. The artworks were hidden away under layers of plaster, in a semi-derelict parlor block, until they noticed signs of early wall paintings. According to Anna Keay, director of the Landmark Trust, a British building conservation nonprofit leading the restoration, “never in my own 27 years of working in historic buildings have I ever witnessed a discovery like this.”
