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”.
