![]() Most dooms in English churches were destroyed by government authority during the English Reformation. Many examples survive as wall-paintings in medieval churches, most dating from around the 12th to 13th centuries, although the subject was common from the 1st millennium until (in countries remaining Catholic) the Counter-Reformation. The subject was very commonly painted on a large scale on the western wall of churches, so it was viewed as people left the church, and the term is typically used of these, rather than depictions of the Last Judgement in other locations or media. This is the moment in Christian eschatology when Christ judges souls to send them to either Heaven or Hell.
