Ironwork in churches has always struck me as something of an unsung hero. Properly executed, it can turn a large space into a series of more intimate venues, adding additional beauty and layering (if you want to call it that) to a church, chapel or cathedral. One particular manifestation of ecclesiastical ironwork that has always impressed me is that of Amiens Cathedral. Here are just a few quick samples.
