Lift out of action

Our lift is currently out of action and awaiting repair. We're working hard to get it back up and running as soon as possible, but at the moment, access to the Crypt and accessible toilet is only possible via steps. Visitors who need an accessible toilet can use the facilities located in nearby Paternoster Square.

Audience
Richard is a white man with short grey hair and black rimmed glasses. He wears a clerical collar and black shirt under a casual light jacket and stands holding onto the wooden railing of a boat or a jetty on a lake. The shoreline in the distance has trees, and some buildings, and there are mountains in the distant background. The sky is pale blue with some clouds and the sun is shining on Richard.
