Billy don’t worry about the chapel- bar controversy. As you’ve said the entire building is deconsecrated. I’m a former ordained clergy woman. I’m proud of the work you’ve done. You are bringing historical level building back to life, giving it new life. Now it’s just a building that will be loved in a new way. Best wishes and prayers for continued safe rehab efforts.

It’s a beautiful arch! I think the chapel could be a lovely place for string quartets, maybe a small art gallery where people could stroll around looking at art, prints, and photos.

People are always interested in unimportant things, especially if they are not their own! Even if you open a nightclub with table dancing, it is your property, you can do whatever you want in the building (pimp Ben 🤣🤣hahahaha). For 30 years, no one was interested in what happened there. Go on and don't worry about what others think of you, it's your dream!

A bar to have a drink before or after a wedding, and having it so close to where the chapel is actually makes sense. Everyone usually gets smashed at weddings anyway! You’re making it so much more convenient. A one stop shop! Rooms for guests, reception in the garden, wedding in the chapel, continual drinking at the bar! Lovely kitchen to meet with all those hang overs! No driving required. Honestly it’s safer that way! 🤷🏻♀️

Curtains that big and heavy will need to be rigged like theatre curtains so they can be pulled open and shut. The raised floor of the bar room (possibly extended toward the chapel) then could function as a stage for a small band, chamber ensemble, choral group or lecturer.
