Haunted Crypt Built In The 13th Century

The haunted crypt has the same footprint as the body of the church above, it contains about 90 vaults, less than a third of which are in use. Some of these are sealed with iron gates, others with brick walls, with little gaps you can look through and coffins are just about visible.

The crypt is accessed by an internal staircase or externally, by wide steps and double doors at the east end of the church.

Also in the crypt is Joseph Scholes the Oldham giant also known as King Dody, He died 12 Feb 1814 aged 56 he weighed over 37 stone and was 6 ft 7" tall

The crypt was closed in 1852

The so-called 'Crusader' coffin that is upright and entombed in the wall itself. This stone coffin was unearthed in the foundations of the previous church, and probably dating from the original early 13th-century church on this site, You can see me stand in the coffin, which is just about my hight but it would have been a very tight fit.

This may sound ghoulish, but would a telescopic mirror be of any use to read name plates on the coffins through the viewing ports? Educational. Grazie.
