This is (a repost of) the angel in the Salt Family Mausoleum inside Saltaire's beautiful Victorian United Reformed Church. The church was built by Sir Titus Salt as a gift to the people of his mill village of Saltaire. It was completed in 1859 but the Mausoleum was a later addition, added in 1861. Sir Titus Salt himself was buried there in 1877 and several other family members are also laid to rest here.
I like this soft blue color very much! and this angel is so serene and beautyful..This place gives a real feeling of comfort and peace.
ReplyDeleteA great photograph. There is something so finely proportioned about the mausoleum.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful space - and such a lovely angel!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Angel's face comes from Mrs Salt?
ReplyDeleteThe angel looks magnificent. There's a reason why the recognisable angels in the Bible usually began with "Do not be afraid!".
ReplyDeleteSo glad you reposted this as I had not seen your original one. How absolutely beautiful this is. ~Lili
