My quest for Victorian statuary and funeral art lead me to what may be considered the best display rt: Highgate in North London.
My goal is to visit the 7 best cemeteries in the London area know as the magnificent seven, but if I do not reach many others, I have found a wonderful assortment of angels. The poses may be similar but the faces and expressions change as the light and shadows pass over this peaceful place.

| Never an angry angle |
 |
| Wide open wings that have survived for decatdes |
 |
| One of the only examples I saw where the angle reaches upwards |
 |
| My favorite style is with open wings |
 |
| Many of the angles cast their eyes to the earth |
 |
| Holding a wreath or a horn is a common style |
