There’s been a church in this very spot for more than 2000 years. The current church is the eighth reconstruction of the building. In W W II the Blitz1 flattened the church, leaving an interesting discovery - a giant crypt below the ground floor. Archaeologists did some digging and found another 1000 years of history.
During a tour of the crypt, visitors can see the different layers in the walls, dating back centuries. They can also view an exhibition about the remains of 200 bodies found in this spot. The church is open seven days a week, and tours run every Tuesday afternoon.
