Angels holding a scroll on the Organ in the Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher designed by by John Ninian Comper. After 1893. Location: G. E. Street's St. Mary Magdalene in Paddington, London. The chapel was intended as a memorial to Dr. Richard Temple West, the church's first vicar. According to Father Stephenson's history of the church and its decorations, "Everthing in the Chapel was designed by Comper," who also provided explanations of some of the complex iconography he used. Father Stephenson explains that this scroll contains the first verse of the Easter hymn Chorus novæ Ieruslaem."
