520 |a This article focuses on the high-status medieval wall paintings depicting St Christopher, St Andrew, and the Crucifixion, located in the ‘chaplains' room' in the cloister range of the Augustinian nunnery of Lacock (Wiltshire). The study examines the iconography, function, and chronology of these thirteenth-century images, and suggests that the founder of the abbey, Countess Ela of Salisbury, was almost certainly the patron responsible for commissioning the elaborate scheme. Rather than functioning as a living space for the abbey's chaplains as traditionally assumed, the chamber probably operated as a private devotional space for the abbess and her community.
