Pentecost Overmantel, Dartmouth - a photo on Flickriver

The Pentecost overmantel in the first floor dining room of the Sloping Deck Restaurant in the picturesque Butterwalk, Dartmouth.

The design appears to be unique, with highly unusual religious imagery in a 17th century domestic setting; Moses & David flank the image of Pentecost, with a central figure of Mary surrounded by the 12 Apostles (it appears one was forgotten about originally and squeezed in at the last minute on the left with just his head showing!).

It holds nostalgic attraction for me as I recall being fascinated by it on a childhood holiday in Dartmouth back in 1982 (I was 8 and my interest in historic churches, art & architecture was blossoming) it wasn't top-lit back then and one of the right hand Apostle figures slightly spooked me as he always seemed to be staring right at me!. I even remember we popped back into the Sloping Deck again a few days later and I was disappointed at not being able to see this again when there was a function on in this room. The eponymous sloping floor also greatly intrigued me as a child.
