Week 43 - Day 211
The new light fittings were put up today. The original ceiling roses also returned after being cleaned of years of over painting with whitewash and paint.
There are three 5 branch fittings and two 3 branch fittings. The 5's are in the main body of the chapel and the 3's either side of the organ.

Day 117 - Makers Mark on Cleaned up Ceiling Rose
Week 24 - Day 117
At the beginning of the project the ceiling roses were removed from their position and sent away for cleaning. One was fractured and broke during removal so a new cast has now been made from it.
A makers mark was revealed as all the layers of over-painting were removed.
Any one any ideas about who made it?
