More about this scene
The church of St John the Baptist at Royston was originally part of the 13th-century priory. At the Dissolution, the nave was demolished and the western arch of the tower was filled in. The people of the town bought the remains of the original building, and it then became the parish church. Some of the original small lancet windows and the early south aisle timber roof are still visible. Close to the church and the Cross, an ancient glacial boulder cut with a slot to hold a market cross, lies the intriguing underground Royston Cave. The gloomy light reveals a myriad of medieval relief carvings depicting, some believe, Knights Templar symbols and mystic signs.
