Winchester Cathedral built on wetlands
Bottom level floods in heavy rains
This is a statue hidden in the catacombs
Shown the “secret” stairs down by the lady Vicar
who was in charge of the Cathedral that day who befriended us
Winchester Cathedral, Winchester, Hampshire, England
“The famous statue in the crypt (often called the catacombs) beneath Winchester Cathedral
By Sir Antony Gormley's 'Sound II', a life-sized, lead figure of a man with cupped hands
designed to fill with water from the often-flooded crypt
creating a moody, poignant presence in the historic Norman underground space”.
