Built in the early 14th century this vault is unusual in having ribs, some of which cross. Many of the stones were marked with their dimensions to guide the builders. Probably built to store wine, it was an air-raid shelter during WW2. The house above was destroyed during the blitz but the vault protected these sheltering inside and survived intact.
