Royston is in the north-east corner of Hertfordshire and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town is named after the cross erected by Lady Roysia, wife of a steward to William the Conqueror. In 1742 a strange cave was discovered in the centre of Royston. Some of the carvings in the cave are easily recognisable as the Crucifixion, St Catherine, St Christopher and St Lawrence, while others still defy positive identification. The cave is a mysterious and magical place, which attracts many foreign visitors.
