Object history | May have been intended for an ecclesiastical purpose, such as the back of stalls, or for a domestic one, such as wall decoration within a gothic room. The shapes of the panels make it clear that they were not intended for the Houses of Parliament, though they are among those identified by J.D. Crace as being for that building. |
