Royston Cave

'Roi' or 'Rose Stone'

Royston Cave can be found in Hertfordhsire UK and has a strong connection with the Knights Templars, it is a circular beehive-shaped chamber some 26’ high, with a 17’ diameter, discovered accidently in 1742 by workmen.

They had been digging around a curious stone known as th ‘Roi’ or Rose stone that stood at a crossroads the two roads intersecting at this point followed the cardinal directions.

The cave is covered in many carving and is a facinating entry into the history of the Knights.

There are a wealth of images and inform tion to be found at the Royston Cave website and a good article can be found at ellisctaylor.com by Dan Green (I would highlight the fact I am leading you to this article does not mena I actually agree with everything he say but just want to give you the opportunity to read it yourself) For those of you who like nice pictures and music why not have a look at the video posted below.
