Overview
A private timber gallery high above the chapel nave, where two tall thrones stand behind a low rail so the lord of the house might hear his prayers in solitude.
Dark timber boards run out to a low rail looking down into the dim well of the chapel nave. Two high thrones stand side by side in the dust, facing the cold stone below.
