    A design we don't really see here. I like the style, and quite a pretty setting, too!

    A very attractive chapel! The land with the sheep looks very rural.

    Such a beautiful building - one knows that this was built by very serious worshippers!

    The chapel is an intriguing design and the view in the last photo is so lovely and peaceful.
