Towneley Hall Chapel Altarpiece
In addition to 15th-century Whalley Abbey vestments, Image] also has a finely carved Flemish altarpiece http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altarpiece made in Antwerp around 1525. Although now it is plain oak it is thought that originally it would have been painted and gilded in a highly decorative style.
