I have some woodchip in my house, pretty sure if I tried to remove it the plaster would come away too.

It costs a fortune to go in and see that place. I thought chapels were meant to be places of worship not places of daylight robbery

I think it takes in about €70 million/year in tourist fees. Ooops! just checked...correction: €80 million/year or £70 million. 25,000 visitors/day!
or 5 million per year. Pretty decent money earner.Telegraph

And you can't even take photos of the feckin thing. What is it with chapels, not allowing photographs ( even non flash)?? Rosslyn was the same!
