Painting on the wall over the south door at the church at Bledlow, England. Eve’s distaff is still very clear. Adam is delving(digging), both figures working in accordance with Genesis.
Bledloe, Buckinghamshire, Oxford, c. 1300
The same scene is painted on the south wall of the nave of the church at
Broughton, Cambridgeshire, England. The old rhyme, “When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?” refers to this biblical episode.
