Museum of Miniature Found Objects

A thrilling discovery has taken place at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects. Works are currently under way to enlarge the Palm Court Tea Rooms and on Thursday, while removing wallpaper and mortar from the Grade II-listed wall, workmen uncovered a fragment of an image moulded into the plaster below (see above). It is believed to be a portion of a mural of King Henry V, gathered with his court to receive the blessing of Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Canterbury, on the eve of Henry's departure for the Battle of Agincourt. Xavier Grosz-Custigan, art specialist and curator, described the work as being 'of enormous importance and significance'. The wall is the sole remnant of the fourteenth-century palace that formerly stood on the site. The MMFO is working with Gladdest-Boyes-Bedde Architects to incorporate this exciting find into the design for the enlarged tearooms.
