OPTION 4.2 - New Narthex to the West End As a development of previous option 1, and with reference to option 4.1, this option: 1. Places a new narthex adjacent to the west door, containing a lift and stair from pavement level to nave level 2. There-by enables the existing west doors to be held-open with new glazed doors within the existing opening permitting a spectacular view towards the altar 3. Relocates the choir vestry to a first storey, above the education space, with a stair and lift providing private, covered access to the chancel, via the Priest’s Door 4. Relies upon an additional short-rise lift to negotiate the level change between the new welcome facilities and the existing C14 undercroft (exhibition space) 5. Retains a potential north-side location for a phase 3 Hogarth Gallery Potential Limitations: 1. Constrained by both the sewer development exclusion zone, and the need to avoid under-mining the existing building, the lower ground floor route to the new narthex is potentially awkward and insufficiently-rewarding 2. In this position, the vertical circulation to nave level is remote from the exhibition space. Hence, whilst those without mobility issues are able to utilise the historic stairs to Canynges’ Kitchen, wheelchair users are substantially rerouted, via the new narthex 3. The new choir vestry is spectacularly-sited but, unavoidably, smaller than that shown in option 4.1, and relies upon the shared use of the education WCs, two-storeys below 4. New narthex arguably restricts potential for view to altar from raised pavement 5 4 9 1 2 3 6 LOWER GROUND FLOOR (undercroft level) 1. Introductory Exhibition 2. Cafe 3. External Seating 4.
