Description
Royston Cave is a man-made cave located beneath Melbourn Street in Royston. It has a bottle shape and is 28 feet deep, with light coming through a round grating in the pavement above. Inside, there are numerous carvings from the 13th or 14th century, depicting scenes such as a crucifixion, Saint Christopher, Saint Catherine, a king and queen, and figures on horseback. The cave was formerly painted, but the paint has now faded. There is a later entrance passage that dates back to 1790.
