Sadly our penultimate #CathedralAngel today. But it' a beauty. Obviously. From #SheffieldCathedral a golden angel, full wings and giving us a tune. Want to see more beautiful angels?

Legend says Hedley used his young daughter as a model. The angels provide a glorious heavenly choir to accompany the voices of the present Cathedral Choir.

Heavenly choir - a little legend for you. Newcastle artist Ralph Hedley carved the outstanding woodwork of the quire for @nclcathedral's inauguration in 1882. Perhaps, most of all, it is the #CathedralAngels on high who dominate. Legend says Hedley used his young daughter as a model.

We're in Saint Mary's Cathedral, #Limerick today for our #CathedralAngels.
This angel has presided over events in the Cathedral for over a century.
It is one of a pair and forms part of the reredos of the Great High Altar.

'most dreary'. That's what Queen Victoria said. (A bit harsh I think).
#CathedralAngels
During a visit to @stpaulscathedral.bsky.social, Queen Victoria remarked that it was ...
‘most dreary, dingy & undevotional’
A comment that would lead to a scheme of ceiling mosaics being installed.

Wow. An army of angels.
Wow. An army of angels.
We couldn't possibly run a #CathedralAngels campaign without including the window of St Michael leading his army of angels which was made by Clayton & Bell and installed in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford in 1875.
It’s by far the largest window in the cathedral.

These #CathedralAngels are some of the incredible medieval roof bosses that adorn the lofty heights of #NorwichCathedral.
Hundreds of these centuries-old carvings decorate Norwich Cathedral and its Cloister.

Most of the fragments were recovered from Cuthbert’s tomb when it was opened in 1827, you can see at the ‘head’ end of St Cuthbert’s coffin carved figures of the Archangels Gabriel and Michael.

There are some 70 angels looking down from on high in the Mediaeval quire at Ripon Cathedral.A few years ago one of the heavenly host fell to earth from the canopy directly above the choir stalls where the lay clerks (adult singers) sit, prompting a large-scale restoration project costing £120,000. Restoring Fallen Angels, in 2019, saw carvings, canopies and misericords restored to their former splendour with centuries of dust and dirt removed. The remarkable carvings, which are of national significance, draw tens of thousands of visitors each year.
Fallen angel.

A truly Heavenly Host - #BirminghamCathedral
Christ and The Archangel Michael are framed by #CathedralAngels, distinguished by the different colours of their haloes and wings.
The faces were inspired by Burne-Jones’ daughter Margaret

The stone was discovered during excavation work in the south porch in 1871 and although the exact date is uncertain, it is believed to date back to the 11th or 12th Century.
It's old. Very old.
Now displayed in @mancathedral.bsky.social’s Nave, the Angel Stone is one of the Cathedral’s oldest artefacts.
It is believed to date back to the 11th or 12th Century.

I’d love to include the other Sheffield one and Liverpool. But it’s a membership ‘thing’ though we do have ‘partner’ cathedrals in Ireland and Wales. You’ll see them in our #CathedralAngels winter campaign.

Did you know ...
@carlislecathedral.bsky.social is famous for its starry ceiling, but did you know this beautiful decoration also incorporates angels, added in the 1850s?
Read about them below. Also a nasty accident >

The view is looking up towards the organ, with these angels greeting people as they pass through the King’s screen beneath the organ into the quire.
