 The Crypt below St. Etheldreda's has been described as one of London's " Most Magical" Venues.  Dating back to the 12th Century The Crypt has seen some of London's most celebrated functions, including a grand feast lasting 5 days and nights for Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in 1531. It's reported they dined on Swans stuffed with larks stuffed with sparrows.
