A section of the outside wall on the Jackson Pit elevation was cut away in the past to enable a flue to be inserted from a kitchen range to a chimney inserted between two windows. Where the flue passed between the wall and the chapel floor it was constructed of plaster and there was little supporting the wall above. See below how a new concrete beam is inserted to take the weight of the wall above.
The flue itself had been built within the cavity wall of the original construction.
