architecture N ecclesiastical architecture the terms ‘undercroft’ and ‘crypt’ are interchangeable, though it is only in the latter that you will find tombs. Both spaces were invariably constructed underground – or partially undergroundbefore stone masons began work on the superstructure. Vaulted ground-level storage undercrofts (such as at Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire) were sometimes added as an afterthought, often for storing non-perishable vittles and wine casks.

Worcester Cathedral’s award-winning teaching space Photo credit: Andy Marshall

Hereford has a small and intimate crypt for prayer, beneath the Lady Chapel. Worcester Cathedral recently converted its vaulted undercroft into a teaching space for local school groups. Canterbury Cathedral’s undercroft is the oldest part the cathedral, dating back to the 11th century (in the 13th century it housed the tomb of the martyred Thomas Beckett). At York Minister, during emergency underpinning operations in the 1970s, evidence was uncovered of the barracks of two Roman legions.

Glorious Ely Cathedral (‘The Ship of the Fens’) has a tearoom and restaurant in its 12th century crypt. Eateries – not strictly a religious activity, though dedicated ‘foodies’ would argue otherwise – have always been a popular option (St Paul’s; St Martin-in-the-Fields). Before opening his Café at All Saints (which last year celebrated its 25th anniversary) in Hereford’s oldest church, proprietor Bill Sewell had a restaurant called ‘The Place Below’ in the crypt of the City of London church of St Mary-le-Bow.

Church reordering specialist Rev Andrew Mottram, who worked with Bill and local architect Rod Robinson on All Saints’ award-winning reconfiguration, was also the driving force behind the subterranean transformation at Worcester Cathedral. Until the Reformation, Worcester Cathedral was the centre of an important Benedictine Order. The undercroft served as the monks’ refectory.

A safety-compliant disability lift ramp was ingeniously inserted into a repaired medieval vault to create a sublime Visitors Learning Centre. Architects were Acanthus Clews (Cathedral Architect Camilla Finlay), funding came from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the refurbished space – which bristles with hi-tech audio-visual teaching aids - is now used by some 6,000 young people each year. In 2021 it won an Architects Journal Retrofit Award, an exemplar of sensitive non-intrusive conservation.

Alone with Mary Magdelene

Some years ago my wife and I went on an escorted tour of Provence. Our overnight accommodation for the weeklong trip turned out to be the beautifully-converted former Royal Convent of the Dominicans at Saint-Maximin-laSainte-Beaume, which is run along similar lines to the UK’s Landmark Trust (which aims to keep historic buildings in use as tourism bases) and the Spanish Paradore network. Our French ‘hostel’ even had a Michelin-starred restaurant. Bang next door was a 13th century basilica. Why a convent had once warranted an ornate basilica wasn’t immediately apparent.

After a supper in the village, returning to our overnight accommodation we heard the mellifluous sounds of a choir

The final chords of the rehearsal drifted down the stone steps like icicles, creating a glacial atmosphere. It was several minutes before I regained the strength to ascend the crypt’s stone steps and slip silently out into the night.
