KNIGHTS-HOLE, a limestone cavern in the E of Durham; near Thornley hill, 4 miles SW of Easington. It seems partly natural, partly enlarged by art; it communicates with an ancient chapel, about 60 feet to the N; and it is said to have afforded escape to two priests in the time of Elizabeth.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
