The Catherine Wheel firework is thought to be named after St Catherine, who was condemned to death by the means of a spiked wheel. Legend says that when she touched the wheel it splintered into a 1000 pieces. Seen here holding the wheel, we believe she is one of the most iconic carvings in the cave!

We have just published our next midweek special to be held on the feast day of John the Baptist on 24th June 2025. It is thought that he stands on the left of this carving, which could be a replica of the seal of the Priory that stood in Royston.

An old photograph taken of the supposed resurrection carving in the cave. Above the niche, and below the Hand of God, there is an outstretched arm with a figure resting on top of it, thought to be Christ in the tomb.
