Half a century ago a fragmentary series of Elizabethan or Jacobean wall-paintings of the Nine Worthies was discovered in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. By comparing these panels with the illustrations of the Nine Worthies in Thomas Trevelyon's commonplace book (1608), it can be demonstrated that they are virtually the same. This enables us to identify, beyond doubt, those Amersham panels which have hitherto been subject to conjecture, and to show what the missing panels must have looked like. With regard to the exact nature of the relationship between the two series of the Nine Worthies, it is assumed that they have been copied from a common source, which is now lost
