Fragment of wall painting by Robert Noonan from St. Andrews Church, Hastings.

Noonan was employed by Burton & Co to carry out the decoration of the chancel in 1905. The Church was situated close to Burtons' premises in Queens Road.

Noonan's work was covered in whitewash in 1966 and in 1970 the church was demolished.

The panel is the largest piece of artwork that has survived. It was restored in 1982 through the Robert Tressell Mural Panel Appeal.

The surviving panel now in the Hastings Museum can be seen on the north wall.
