  • El retablo de Thornham Parva es un retablo medieval, ahora en , Suffolk, Inglaterra. Se cree que el retablo fue creado en la década de 1330 para un priorato dominico. ​ Con 4.6 m de largo, es el mayor retablo sobreviviente de la Edad Media inglesa. El retablo sobrevivió a los reformadores iconoclastas del siglo XVI, que destruyeron gran parte de la cultura medieval de Inglaterra, al ser retirado de su iglesia. Fue descubierto en 1927 en un desván en Thornham Hall, perteneciente a un terrateniente de Suffolk, . Lo donó a la Iglesia de Santa María, Thornham Parva, donde su hermano era párroco. El retablo de Thornham Parva tiene ocho paneles de santos en nichos que rodean una Crucifixión. Los orígenes del retablo son un enigma, pero las imágenes proporcionan pistas. Las figuras proporcionan vínculos con la Orden Dominicana. En cada extremo están Santo Domingo y San Pedro Mártir, patrones conjuntos de los dominicos. La figura de Juan el Bautista puede parecer más difícil de relacionar, pero el benefactor del Priorato dominicano en Thetford, John de Warenne, Séptimo conde de Surrey habría esperado que su homónimo formara parte de la pintura terminada.

  • The Thornham Parva Retable is a medieval altarpiece, now in Thornham Parva, Suffolk, England. The retable is thought to have been created in the 1330s for a Dominican Priory. At 15 feet (4.6 m) long, it is the largest surviving altarpiece from the English Middle Ages. The retable survived the iconoclastic reformers of the 16th Century, who destroyed many of England's medieval culture, by being removed from its church. It was discovered in 1927 in a wood pile in a loft at Thornham Hall, belonging to a Suffolk landowner, Lord Henniker. He donated it to St Mary's Church, Thornham Parva, where his brother was parson. The Thornham Parva Retable has eight panels of saints in niches surrounding a Crucifixion. The origins of the retable were a puzzle but the images provide clues. The figures pinpointed links with the Dominican Order. At either end are St Dominic and St Peter Martyr, joint patrons of the Dominicans. St Catherine and St Margaret of Antioch were the order's mascots. The Apostles Peter and Paul, who were believed to have spoken to St Dominic, all point towards Dominican interest. The presence of Edmund the Martyr suggests an East Anglian link. John the Baptist's figure might seem more obscure, but the benefactors of the Dominican Priory at Thetford, John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey and Edmund Gonville would have expected their namesakes to be part of the finished painting.
