I like the scene. Well performed.
A little aspect on the lighting. For me it’s to white, flames should be more orange, yellow.
It looks like electric light spots are used.
But again, a lot of work with a very nice result. 
Thank you FedPete.
These are some test renders that I did with different lighting. which one do you think resembles a flame the most?

The second or third one. But may be crank up the global (enviroment) lighting too.
But I must confess, lighting is a difficult part of 3D. Also because of the fireflies and grain.
And if you introduce torches, that more light can be applied. Because a candle has a low intensity light.
I, did this My Bender church in full colour
Did you use the fire simulator to make the flame in your torches?
No, I didn’t. Because, it is a lot of work for a single image.
I used a transparent flame .png on a plane. If you zoom in, you can see (alias is not nice, needs to be more blending).
I did work on a candle, with a fire simulator. The flame needs to be rendered upon a few frames, so that the flame develops. Then baked.
But as you now, there is so much to do when working on these project. I try to keep it simple and learn in small steps.
This was my candle project with a flame generator. Small step
