Ah I see. So am I essentially building a chapel then?
Thanks for the links, I like your church! Mine is on a similar scale, but not
quite as fancy architecture-wise. It is also built into the walls of my castle,
so the bell tower will double as a defensive tower. Not sure how realistic this
is, but it will have to do to conserve space.
cheers
