Hi to all I am new to this site and have been very intrigued but his therad.

I may have missed it but no one has mentioned anything about the double exposure of a Lady's head and hand sat just above the pillow of the bed in the forground. It can't be seen unless you zoom in. I believe the cloak also belong to the double exposure.
 I think the upper bed sits in a window recess and would explain some of the shadow issues.

The room is definitely  constructed to be a chapel and has been used for extending the accommodation of the building.

As to all the pictures facing the camera the table in the forground looks to be being used as a righting desk containing a book and pen and may be what looks like an ink well.

sorry if this confuses matters more but it's very intriguing.

I'm glad this has popped up again !   It was certainly intriguing ... did we actually reach any conclusions ?  (17 pages is a lot to re-read !)

Your attic room, especially the ceiling, is very similar ...

There was an article in the last Sat. Telegraph magazine about a couple who converted an old chapel in Camberwell. It wasn't exactly the same as this one but it certainly looked similar in many of the details, especially where they had fitted mezzanine floors to create 2 levels.
Unfortunately I can't find the article online, but it says it was built in 1903 as part of Goldsmiths'College.
