Continuing the church theme this month, is the central part of the frieze behind the altar in the central nave of St. Mary's Church.  More of this frieze will be posted at a later date; as will the beautiful stained glass windows in the southern aisle and chapel

St Mary's Church in Hitchin is full of little gems such as this angel. I'm not sure if it's an original or a Victorian reproduction. If it is an original, then I'm surprised it survived the iconoclasts' destruction; But as Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews pointed out, they only pulled down statues of saints that people prayed to and not angels to which people didn't pray.
