The Sleeping Dead

Here is another example of the haunting images you’ll see when taking a stroll through North London’s Highgate Cemetery. This statue of an angel sleeping was likely erected to provide comfort and solace to mourners, but it doesn’t come off that way. Instead, it appears to be a brutal reminder of death, and it’s an image that probably haunts the dreams of visitors to this cemetery. We wouldn’t suggest staring at this sleeping angel for too long.
