"The Painted Hall features some of the finest baroque paintings in England, executed by Sir James Thornbill in 1707-17 and featuring the monarchs William and Mary, surrounded by allegorical figures symbolizing the triumph of virtue over vice.
The Chapel, rebuilt after being damaged by a fire in 1779, is in neo-Grecian style, with statues of Faith, Hope, Charity and Humility in the vestibule and a vast alter painting by Benjamin West, St Paul Shaking Off the Viper"
