Thought for the day :"Reading can seriously damage your ignorance"
Nice little article today about a discovery in almost clear view.
The cave, beneath a farmer's field in Shropshire, was used by the medieval religious order that fought in the Crusades and these stunning images were captured by photographer Michael Scott
It is thought the cave was built as a place to worship
The cave is less than a metre underground
It contains a network of walkways that are "completely untouched"
The way out of the cave, where Knights Templar would have walked 700 years ago
The hole leading into the cave looks just like a rabbit's hole
It was reportedly also once used by followers of a black magic cul
Candles are used to illuminate the inside of the cave
The cave is near the Shropshire village of Albrighton
There are many inscriptions on the cave walls
The Knights Templar were active from 1119 to the beginning of the 1300s, although the exact dates are disputed
It is not known exactly
when the cave was dug, but it is thought around 700 years ago - although
some believe it was much later in the 17th century
So - here it is for posterity ...
Cheers
