- One of a large series of drawings and watercolours of buildings and antiquities in London by John Wykeham Archer, in 17 portfolios (mostly stored offsite); for further information on the series, see registration number 1874,0314.1*.
The crypt shows signs of damage and dilapidation, perhaps due to the fire of 1834.
