More about this scene
The chapel is in the top of the house, next to a nursery that offered views in all directions. Members of the family could stand watch while a service was being held. Notice the decorated section of the ceiling — the entire room was once painted with designs of vines, lilies and pomegranates, and much of it can still be seen on the brickwork. There are many other examples of painted walls throughout the house and, strange though it may seem, these probably only survived because the house was neglected for so long — careless restoration might have inadvertently caused its destruction.
