Two bays of quadripartite vaulting with chamfered ribs and a lighting niche in the north wall opposite a blocked side chamber. The distance of the undercroft from the street line and the junction between the present west wall of the undercroft and the vaulting (west bay truncated) suggests that it was originally four bays. The two western bays were probably demolished when the present circa 1700 street range was constructed. The undercroft is one of an important group of medieval undercrofts within the city walls.
