At the end of Thames Wharf I have found a "cathedral key".
I have so far been unable to find where to use it
I assume that it may be related to accessing the "All Hallows" level.
Help would be appreciated
TIA

It never gets used, and usually just dissappears on the next
level. The game designers must have left something out.

My theory is that they originally planned to require the use of the key to
gain access to the Cathedral. This you could not do without finding all the
secrets, including the key to get in to the place.

It's a secret and thats it. It's in a normal key slot and these cannot be
taken to the next level in tr3. And there is no key hole object in that
level, so keep it as a secret artefact that she loses when falling down into
the aldwych station.

This in my opinion is true as well. The cathedral key is required in order
to gain access to all hallows (roof access to the cathedral). Without the
key she would not be able to get in, and so not be able to start this level.
I guess this is just another reason to get all secrets. It would perhaps
have been nice to have an FMV in which she landed the helecopter and uses
the key, but that would have taken more time I guess, and it would also be
an additional FMV, as you would still need the existing one if all secrets
were not obtained.

Regarding the All Hallows level, there's a useful "bug" for this level.
At the beginning, Lara lands on a collapsable tile, then takes a big fall
causing a lot of damage. By side stepping on the tile, Lara will just
appear down below, with no damage at all.

Whoa, nice bug 😀 Thanks for the tip, I will be trying that next time I play
that level!
