Photograph
c.1940-50s
This black and white photograph of the Chapel shows a prominent cupola, or roof light, on top of the Chapel's roof. This was installed in the 1800s, as a decorative vent for the heat and smoke issuing from the newly-installed Chapel gas lighting.
The cupola was removed in the 1970s restoration works. Electrical lighting made the vent redundant.
