More information:

Situated within the private grounds of Caynton Hall are Caynton Caves which have had a renewed interest due to the media earlier in 2017. They were thought to date back to the Knights Templar who carved out the soft sandstone to create a neo-Romanesque underground temple comprising of irregular ambulatories and chambers. The landowners have tried in the past to accommodate the alternative interest but all to no avail. The site has been used for devil worship and other pagan activities. Historic England dates the caves back to probably around the late 18th century or early 19th and most probably was a folly.
