neutral  Michaela Bordessoule: Podle stavitele Scotta se nejspíše jedná o anglikánský kostel a v tom případě je chrámový sbor v přední části kostela

disagree  Markéta Demlová MITI: kůr je v kostele u varhan, v "patře" chrámové lodi; je to místo pro zpěváky, chór je naopak určen kněžím nebo mnichům
