Re: St John the Baptist (Tunstall) by Anne T on Thursday, 27 August 2015

Not really Portal 'business', but just a note that may interest potential visitors. This is the church that was the subject of one of the BBC's "Fake Or Fortune" programmes in July 2015. The programme confirmed that the church owns a painting by Francesco Montemezzano, a 16th century Renaissance artist from Venice - a Pieta, a depiction of the dead Christ cradled in the arms of his mother May after he was taken down from the cross.
Worth around £100k, the painting wasn't in the church during our visit, presumably having been moved for the investigation and to prevent it from being stolen.


Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
