This probably could have worked.
But I don't really know what I should have done.

My house has a big central skylight with a beveled glass lighting fixture nearby that acts as a prism.
This rainbow falls on a light gray carpet this time of year. So I put my clean coffee mug under the rainbow, atop a sheet of paper, all on the carpet. Among the many mis-"takes", the writing has come through from the opposite side of the paper.
But the reason I posted it, was my sense that something interesting was possible, but I didn't have the knowledge or skill to take advantage.
Commendable what you have seen/done. Doubt if any concrete suggestions can be made, without seeing the setup. Ed.

Imagine creating this window, not just photographing it. Makes me appreciate the inherent artistry of the human spirit.

Looks lavishly ornate for a local chapel, Ed. The one I attended as a boy was quite plain and simple.
Cheers.

Sure it was gifted, by local person Philip. Ed.
Quick bit or research, from local history book. Ed.
Previous to this time James Robert Hope, a barrister, had married a grand-daughter of Sir Walter Scott, came to reside at Abbotsford, where, having assumed the name of Scott, he became known as Mr Hope-Scott. After he and his wife left the Church of England and joined the Catholic Church, when he commenced to take a deep in both in the temporal and spiritual welfare of Catholics who resided in Galashiels. Being desirous that the services should be conducted in a fitting manner, he purchased property at the foot of Stirling Street, upon the site of which he erected a chapel and school,
Interesting - thank you, Ed. The local community is fortunate to have such a splendid building.
Is it this one? -

It is Philip, unusual view, had to think a bit!! This is front on, photographed many, many weddings there. Regards. Ed.
Thank you, Ed. I found it on the Web, and I posted that view because the windows seemed to match those in your stained glass shot (Post: #12). From your photos, both inside and outside, it looks a magnificent building.
Cheers.

Finally, interior, full. Ed.

Hope you like them.
Just for contrast, and to offer that you do what you can, with what you have, and where you are.

Hello Phil
The exposure, colours and details in the second one are great. I just think it's a shame that the sides are cropped off - I would love to see the stained glass framed by the window frame.
Just my opinions, of course.
Cheers.

Hello WD
This really is in contrast to the other stained glass posted here, as is the building itself!
The photo appears to show some barrel distortion, and it is over-exposed which makes it look a bit flat - lacking contrast and detail. So, if it were mine, I would do some processing on the image in an attempt to pep it up a bit. The perspective could also be corrected but, in this case, I like the angles of the lines.
E.g. After a few tweaks in PaintShop Pro X6 -
