The Cathedral in York has something similar. One part of it burned, a few times, and during the last renovation they had a contest to decorate the large ceiling Rosetes. One of the winning submissions is a testament to the first landing on the moon. This is a picture of the Rosetes, although you cannot see the detail, they are the large round things at interval away from the window across the top of the ceiling. A beautiful place.

Welcome to the Cellar, Jano. :D

I didn't know those small carvings could be removed, like the big Gargoyles and statues.

They are essentially stone panels, they can be carefully removed and restored or replaced by professionals.
