There’s something very spooky about angel-memorials in graveyards. They should be reassuring, but they have exactly the opposite effect on me, even one with a beautiful face, like this one in Aston churchyard. Her wings are really like pinions too; it's quite a piece.
The fact that her arms have broken off may contribute to her spookiness.
And I can fully understand why the makers of Doctor Who should have based one of their alien-creatures, the ‘Weeping Angels’, on these statues.

You should go back at night...
ReplyDeleteWhile she is very beautiful, she looks creepy to me because she looks so real and lifelike, except for the missing arms.
