[MR] History Blog: Medieval Shrine Cave

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

Today's History Blog story is all about a cave with a medieval Christian
shrine which was revealed by a recent landslide along a railway route. The
cave is being referred to as St. Catherine's Cave, from a near-by church,
and is located near Guilford in Surry.

What remains of the cave is in terrible condition, being in crumbling
sandstone. Only a small portion remains, the rest having been destroyed
when the railway was built in the 1840s.
