The scheme suggested by the Dean on the occasion referred to was to restore the old undercroft to the east of the present "Great Cloisters, which dates from the distant reign of Edward the Confessor, to something more searly resembling its engibal appearance, and to utilise-this-renovated building, with all its interesting architectural characteristics, to con- tinue the work which has been carried on by the Abbay Church for so many generations and centuries as the resting place of England's mighty dend.

This undercrok or substricture in Early Norman is chatadler, and it codaiste of a num ber of short, bulky columns, destituje of any ornamentation whatsoever save the very rough- est mouldings, carved, of course, by means of the axe rather, than the chisel, These support a low grained roof, upon which came to be built the ancient Monastic dormitory. Westminster, or the Isle of Thorney, as it was once known, intersected as it was by countless. water-courses, must have been a damp place at the best, and no doubt it was felt by the mosas- tic builders of the Abbey Church and tha -conventual buildings which surround it that it was highly desirable for the sleeping arrange- ments of the community to be placed bigh, out of reach of the damp humours which were exhaled at that time by the marshy soil," Thus” it came about that the dormitory of our Abbey - in medieval times was built upon this highly interesting Norman undercroft, or it might be termed a kind of crypt, but above instead of below the surface of the ground.
