Campaign to save cave from damage
BBC News
An ancient cave in Herts - thought to have been used by the Knights Templar during their quest for the Holy Grail - is under threat, according to an MP.
The Royston Cave, believed to date back to the 13th Century, is being damaged by the weight and vibration of excessive heavy lorry traffic.
North East Herts MP Oliver Heald is now campaigning to save the cave.
English Heritage is also pressing for a weight restriction on Melbourn Street which is above the cave.
Mr Heald said: "I have written to both our local councils to press the case for measures to safeguard the cave."
