The section of original lime plaster with its painted decoration is prepared to meet the new lime plaster. This section of plaster has been preserved in the NE corner of the gallery. The decorative frieze would have been located just below the eaves and the original flat ceiling and might have been added to the chapel as part of a series of 'beautifying' events the first of which is recorded in 1825. It would have been carried around the whole building and was still there in 1895 because a section can be seen in the photo showing the first Harvest Festival, which also shows the painted decorations on the facade pipes of the organ were also still visible.
