The walls are plastered internally, and the ceiling, which is a semi-decagon in form, is lined with wood, and richly decorated in colour. The walls are also elaborately decorated from designs by the architects. The west gable is filled with stained glass, having figure subjects illustrating the Parables; some of the smaller windows are also filled with stained glass, with figure sub- jects illustrating the Acts of Mercy.”
