Bury Parish Church: Two Wonderful Carved Figures

When I go to my hometown of Bury (Lancashire) and take pictures round the town centre, I always find something new to focus on at the entrance to Bury Parish Church.

This time round, for the first time, I noticed a wonderful angel figure:


And equally wonderful Virgin Mary figure somewhere above or alongside the main entrance:


Think that when combined together, the two figures represent the Annunciation scene. 

With something of a micro-eye, it's amazing what profound beauty can be found round a place like Bury town centre.

Such beauty often gets lost in the immanent frame, so to say.
