The Cathedral’s original Crypt was designed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 1930’s, and formed part of his plans to build one of the biggest cathedrals in the world. Shortly after the Crypt’s completion however, the scheme was forced into abandonment and in its place was constructed the iconic Cathedral we know today. The Crypt is the only remaining part of the original design and following a multi-million pound restoration project it now houses a permanent exhibition, charting the building’s rich history and heritage.
