Thanks for your comments. They didn't allow me to take a tri-pod into the chapel. So I had to shoot it level with my crooked head. Edited by Jessica E.

The nave shot is a bit disappointing. Poorly focused, stitching errors present, and the horizon was not leveled before the stitch.

Those errors aside, looks like a beautiful chapel!
