About Royston
Royston
is the most northern town in Hertfordshire, England. It is situated just west of the Greenwich Meridian, which passes through the point where the bypass meets the original A505 alignment. The town centre is just 1 minute 27 seconds west of the meridian. The town lies at the crossing of two ancient thoroughfares, Ermine Street and the Icknield Way (cum Ashwell Street). A cross, named Roisia's Cross, was erected by the crossroads, and it is from this that the town takes its name. The base of the cross still exists and has been placed by the cross roads. The modern equivalent to Icknield Way is the A505 (which now bypasses the town to the north). The A10 follows the alignment of the Ermine Street south of the town, but diverts before it reaches the crossroads. The A1198, known as the Old North Road follows the alignment of Ermine Street northwards.
Royston cave is a small but absorbingly interesting artificial cave. It was almost certainly used by the Knights Templar, who are also thought to have founded nearby Baldock. It is open to the public in the summer months. Royston Cave is a circular, bell-shaped chamber 8 metres (26 feet) high and 5 metres (17 feet) in diameter with a circumferential octagonal podium. The origin of this chamber is unknown. This cave is unique in Britain - if not the world - for its numerous medieval carvings on the walls. They are mostly of pagan origin, but some of the figures are thought to be those of St. Catherine, St. Lawrence and St. Christopher.
