Description
"Blantyre Church, Nyasaland". Exterior view showing St. Michaels and all Angels Church, Blantyre, with a small clock tower, a monument to fallen missionaries, to the right of the image. Blantyre was named after the birth place of David Livingstone, in South Lanarkshire, and is famous for the ornate church built by Clement Scott. The church was built by Scott to his own design and finished in 1891. According to Stewart of Lovedale it is, ‘probably the most striking native church in all central Africa, except the cathedral at Zanzibar’. ❧ From a Photograph Album of the Blantyre Mission, Nyasaland [Malawi] and the Mihecani Mission, Portuguese East Africa [Mozambique].
