The rabbit must've been pissed.

old news

I saw this on facebook trending before I saw it here. Poor show, /his/.

>>2474917
Same, but I figured /his/ ought to have a thread for it now rather than never.

I didn't know such caves even existed.

What makes this a Templar cave and not just a regular cave?
Sounds like youre falling for the mystical Templars meme again anon

Templars were a French order and never set a foot in England

He's right though
100% of the founders, 95% of the Grand Masters and 80% of the soldiers in the order were French
It's no coincidence that their HQ was in France and that the order was literally destroyed in one night when it fell

That doesnt mean they never set foot in England.
Crusading was obviously a very French thing to do, but orders were still active outside of France. Nobody is saying that the Templars are an English order. They did certainly still exist and operate in England despite being substantially French.

To be honest, most English nobles in that era were French, so claiming that the Templars never set a foot in England just because they were French is dumb

Its weird how there is almost nothing on these caves despite them being known about locally for ages. I don't think the knights Templar hypothesis was made by any real historian but its not completely out of the question.

It was closed down in 2012 because of vandals and this was the first photo session since.

more rumours on who built it
"In the woods just to the west of Caynton Hall, this hole leads down into a grotto cut into the soft sandstone. The hall was owned in the mid 1850s by the Legge family, and it's thought that the grotto was cut out then, but the reasons aren't clear."

>The Caynton Caves, hidden in dense woodland near Shifnal, were apparently carved out of sandstone by followers of the Knights Templar.
relation to the templars seems flimsy

some edgy new age satanist pagan larpers have been vandalizing it

>Some believe the grotto is more recent, dug out in the 1850s by a wealthy family as a folly.

this has the location on google maps, seems to be next to a mansion

could have nothing to do with the templars, might be a meme to attract visitors or made up by the larpers
