The cave, beneath a farmer’s field in Shropshire, was used by the medieval religious order that fought in the Crusades and these stunning images were captured by photographer Michael Scott

It is thought the cave was built as a place to worship

The cave is less than a metre underground

It contains a network of walkways that are “completely untouched”

The hole leading into the cave looks just like a rabbit’s hole

It was reportedly also once used by followers of a black magic cult

The cave is near the Shropshire village of Albrighton

The Knights Templar were active from 1119 to the beginning of the 1300s, although the exact dates are disputed

There are many inscriptions on the cave walls

Candles are used to illuminate the inside of the cave
