Edmund stands in the centre, with another archer, much of his figure missing, at the left. His hands are crossed, perhaps tied, and his body is already pierced by six very large arrows, painted in careful detail. The splaying of his fingers (right hand) and toes might be intended to suggest a body tensed against physical agony.

The red-outline masonry pattern against which the figures stand forms the background to most of the painting in the church. There are several, and one of them, the Weighing of Souls is newly on the site. There is also a Doom with some unusual features, and St. Nicholas with the Three Boys in the barrel. These will be here soon.
