The Church of All Saints, Friskney (a village on the seacoast of Lincolnshire, four miles south of Wainfleet), is of early date, though the lower part of the tower is the only part of the original Norman church which has survived the many changes made in the fabric. The earliest historical record of it that I have been able to find is by Dugdale and by Tanner, who quote extracts from the Harleian Charters showing that in A.D. 1256, William de Kime made grant …. “cum omnibus terris in Friskenâ” (sometimes spelt Freschena), to endow the priory of Gilbertine monks at Bolynton (or Bullington), founded by Simon de Kime in Stephen's reign, and, together with the land, “omnes patronatus et advocationes ecclesiarum …. de Bolynton et” (here follows a list of villages spread widely over Lincolnshire) “in medietate ecclesiæ de Friskenâ.”

page note 274 a In some cases the second or surface-coat of plaster has separated from that behind it, and falls out unless great care be taken in touching it. The whole wall up to the roof-plate seems to have been painted with a ground of warm stone-colour (red and yellow ochre), and the subjects drawn upon it in the spaces above-mentioned in line-drawings of light red, black being sometimes used to strengthen the lines. Tints of yellow ochre with red generally for the head and beards; blue and occasionally brown in a few instances for the robes; a light and bright red for the angels' wings. In all the subjects up to this time discovered the figures stand out from a back-ground of dark crimson, a very effective means for making them discernible from the floor of the church below.

page note 278 a What this upright figure holds in her hands it is difficult to say, as the wall here as also about her face is much injured. I first took it to be a vessel, similar to those in the hands of the other figures, but further examination, and the evident presence of blue colouring here, leads me to the conviction that this is not a vessel, but part of her dress which this figure is holding in both hands, probably an apron, from which she pours the manna into a vessel (of which there are faint indications) on the ground at her feet.
