More about this scene

Frith's photographer takes us down into the crypt of Holy Trinity church, discovered by an 18th-century gravedigger when the aisle floor collapsed beneath him. In it he found a vaulted 13th-century ossuary, or charnel house, containing the bones from over 1500 human skeletons from the graveyard. They remain there, neatly stacked.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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.
