Well.. that's easy, isn't it? Find a picture of the Old Royal Naval College Chapel. It is still there.
No, it is not easy! This is the chapel in 1779
The original design by Thomas Ripley was replaced and that is the interior you can visit today.
If anyone finds picture of the earlier chapel interior, please let me know, could you?
