Access: While the BEST view is 'obviously' from inside, it is now a private residence, and if you do catch up with Simon and/or Ineka, mentioning my name may get you the chance to get to the bottom of the Bell Tower and get a similar inside photo.
* Otherwise: a reasonable photo can be taken from the outside of the church. *
