More about this scene

This gruesome sight still greets visitors today as they descend into the vaulted 13th-century crypt. The crypt was sealed off for years; when it was discovered by a sexton digging a grave and eventually reopened, it was found to contain thousands of bones and skulls collected from an old churchyard.

I visited the Bluebell Inn and spent only a modest amount, however I left half a crown as a tip because of a very nice waitress. I left and had walked about two blocks, when the lady chased me down to thank me. I was quite surprised at this, but managed to remain calm and smiled graciously. Told her that if I came again to the Bluebell, I would surely look her up.
