A crypt (from the Greek ‘krypto’, which means hidden or concealed) is a vaulted room frequently made of stone and beneath a building, usually a church or cathedral. Another term for crypt is a croft or undercroft, however, a croft under a house is not usually called a crypt, which over the centuries has taken more of a religious significance. A crypt may be entirely or partly below ground.

When under a church, crypts are usually contained within the limits of the choir or chancel and its aisles, but often are smaller in their subterranean extent, typically confined to just under the altar or the main apse. On occasion, the crypt would be located at ground level, which would result in the entire church being raised.

The decoration and majesty that is often observed in churches and cathedrals would not usually be carried through to the crypt, which would often be executed in a much plainer style but nevertheless still well constructed.

Crypts originally emerged as part of French Romanesque architecture in the middle of the eighth century from where they spread across much of Western Europe.

In the UK, crypts were often used as chapels and contained an altar and other necessary accessories required for the celebration of feasts. Sometimes, a crypt might be used to allow pilgrims a glimpse of a saint’s tomb or their holy remains and other relics. Later, crypts were used more to contain the coffins of the deceased. Crypts can also be found in cemeteries, mausolea and chapels, as well as public buildings.
