Anthony Gormley's Sound II Sculpture in Winchester Cathedral by Duncan Holley
The Diver in the Crypt is based on the story of William Walker, the deep sea diver who, in the 1900′s, single-handedly rescued Winchester Cathedral from sinking and collapse by repairing the building’s supports in a totally flooded crypt.
