Description
“Blantyre, Nyasaland". Exterior view showing the West facing facade of St. Michaels and all Angels Church. There are two Africans and one European standing in front of the Church to the left of the main doors. 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].
