Whilst this is not a derelict site as far as I know there are no pictures of this underground crypt on the net, hope you enjoy them.
Built at the expense of Dr Goddard, who retired from the headmastership of Winchester College
in 1809 to live at Andover. He died in 1845, aged eighty-eight, just before his church had been completed.
It was begun in 1840, opened in 1844, and completed, including the tower, in 1846.
The crypt was a feature that Doctor Goddard was keen to incorporate into the design of his new church.
