We walked around Trinity Chapel and down stairs to enter the crypt, built by Anselm to support the choir of 1130. "The fire of 1174 did not touch the crypt; nor did William of Sens, except for putting in three stout piers, their capitals re-used from Ernulf's choir, to support new choir piers that did not sit squarely on preexisting ones in the crypt. So the crypt is remarkably perfectly preserved."
