The Miners Memorial in Durham Cathedral by Donald Macintyre, 1947. The angels came from the 17th Century chancel screen, the rest was a mantlepiece in Ramside Hall, supposedly made from pieces of a Baroque altar. I love the busy little men with Instruments of the Passion along the top.

Let's take a virtual wander inside Liberton Kirk, our #ScottishChurchOfTheWeek and have a look at its pulpit for this week's #Woodensday.
The cabinet above the oak pulpit may look like an overly ornate sounding board or canopy, but it once housed the pipes for an expensive Ingram & Co organ.
