May 2012: The left aisle of the Farm Street Church

 

So I move down into the left aisle, as shown in the panorama above, its the left hand side. The church was damaged during the Blitz..

On the right is the entrance to the church next to the main altar and on the left is the little chapel which I blogged about last time. That is St. Ignatius in the middle.

The left aisle has these little chapels all down the side.

All different ones. This one is for the Virgin

Between each chapel is a big marble statue with gilt trimmings.
