About Royston Cave
Discovered by accident in 1742, Royston Cave is man-made, bell-shaped and cut 8 metres into the chalk that lies beneath Royston’s ancient crossroad, Ermine Street and Icknield Way.
The cave is decorated with low-relief wall carvings. The carvings are mostly Christian is depiction and medieval in style. They include representations of the Crucifixion and notable saints such as St Catherine and St Christopher. Elsewhere are figures of a horse and an Earth Goddess, believed to be Pagan fertility symbols. In addition to the carvings, the contents of the cave included a human skull, an unmarked piece of brass and fragments of a drinking vessel.
Royston Cave remains an enigma. No records of its age or purpose exist. Some theories suggest it was used by the Knights Templar, others by King James I, while some believe it was a private chapel or hermitage. The cave also attracts Pagan and Earth energy visitors who claim it to be the site where two ancient Ley lines meet. They believe that Royston Cave has been a sacred site for thousands of years.
