"Templar" cave in danger
The Royston Cave, believed to date back to the 13th Century, is being damaged by the weight and vibration of excessive heavy lorry traffic. . .From the BBC.The cave is a man-made cavern in the shape of a beehive, with a small aperture at the top for ventilation.
Inside are wall carvings representing the Crucifixion, the Holy Family and several saints, including St Katherine, St Laurence and St Christopher.
Local historians have said the wall carvings suggest the cave may have been used by the Knights Templar.

You're quite right to be sceptical of the dodgy 'Templar' angle. There's an interesting take on the cave here.
