A new figure has been uncovered in a medieval wall painting in the building housing Shakespeare’s former classroom.
St John the Baptist appeared from under a layer of paint and varnish at the Guildhall in Church Street, Stratford, currently being restored as a visitor attraction.
The wall painting was covered over in the 16th Century, probably by Shakespeare’s father,when the national religion changed from Catholicism to Protestantism.
