The undercroft was a place of burial, on one of the walls, there is a map with the names of all those interred here... In the 18th century the undercroft became a place for people to leave their unwanted babies. The records of the Inn show payments to people to care for the abandoned children, who would usually be given the surname ‘Lincoln’.
