EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Royston Cave, located in Hertfordshire, England. Believed to have been used by the Knights Templar, this ancient underground chamber was discovered in 1742 and continues to intrigue historians and enthusiasts alike. The image captures intricate bas-relief carvings dating back to the 14th century, depicting scenes from the Crucifixion. A woman can be seen standing beside Christ, holding a spiked wheel which is believed to represent St Catherine. These religious motifs add an air of mystery and symbolism to the cave's history. However, what makes this photograph even more fascinating is that these medieval carvings are overlaid with layers of graffiti from various eras. This juxtaposition between ancient artistry and modern markings adds a unique dimension to the cave's story. With its esoteric allure and paranormal associations, Royston Cave has become a subject of fascination for those interested in hidden histories and secret societies like the Knights Templar. The photograph beautifully captures both the historical significance of this mysterious site as well as its contemporary appeal
