Man renovating home finds historic 400-year-old paintings of 'national significance'

A doctor who was renovating his kitchen was left shocked when he discovered 400-year-old paintings of "national significance".

Luke Budworth's kitchen fitters discovered the paintings, thought to date back to 1660, at his home in Micklegate, York, north Yorks.

The first piece of the painting was discovered in Luke's kitchen late last year and since then he has discovered more pieces to the painting, which were found boarded up below the ceiling on both sides of the chimney.
