Is the Holy Grail in HOUNSLOW? Amateur archaeologist is convinced relic was hidden by Knights Templar in secret crypt under river in London as he prepares to survey spot

An amateur archaeologist is convinced he has located the site of the Holy Grail, buried in a secret crypt under a river in Hounslow, west London. 

Barrie-Jon Bower, 40, from Cinderford, Gloucestershire, has spent years studying the links with the mysterious goblet and an order of monks founded in medieval times.

He believes the Knights Templar, a Catholic military order who were closely tied to the Crusades, brought the Holy Grail back to England on one of their trips to the Holy Land.

The sacred relic used by Jesus at the last supper, along with other treasures from the Crusades, is hidden in a secret crypt near a weir at the Duke of Northumberland’s river, he claims. 

Mr Bower, who is currently unemployed, says he is 'certain' he has found the correct spot and expects this will be one of the greatest discoveries in history.

Mr Bower told The Sun: 'When I find it, it's going to be one of the greatest finds in history, the biggest discovery of mankind.

'Now I've been in the water it's made me more certain. It feels hollow. It feels right. There's something underneath. Why not Hounslow?

'Finally I am certain this is the right spot. I am certain there will be a vault beneath the surface, with the Grail inside and other treasures from the Crusades. 

Mr Bower says is 'certain' he has found the correct spot where the Holy Grail is buried and expects this will be 'one of the greatest finds in history'.  Pictured: A goblet in Leon, northern Spain claiming to be the Holy Grail, one of the 200 artifacts in Europe with the same claim

He has now secured the help of the Environment Agency, to divert the river in order to survey the river bed, which he believes is hollow.

Using hired specialist geophysical equipment, costing him £1,000, he will study the ground once the river has been drained as early next year.

'I can't wait to get started. There are some other reasons as to why I think the Holy Grail is here which I don't want to reveal,' he said.

'I don't want rival hunters to get that information. It needs to stay secret. All will be revealed.'

The Holy Grail is traditionally thought to be the cup that Christ drank from at the Last Supper and that Joseph of Arimathea used to collect Jesus's blood at his crucifixion

The Environment Agency were scheduled to visit the site yesterday but the visit was postponed due to bad weather.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: 'We are willing to review Mr Bower’s request and see if we are able to support him at another time. 

'We have a statutory role to ensure that any works carried out on a Main River are done in a way that does not cause environmental damage or pose a flood risk.'

The Holy Grail is traditionally thought to be the cup that Christ drank from at the Last Supper and that Joseph of Arimathea used to collect Jesus's blood at his crucifixion. 

The goblet has been shrouded in mystery for centuries with many conspiracy theories arising as to its location.

There are currently more than 200 locations in Europe claiming to posses the genuine artifact of Holy Grail.

In 1818, an Austrian pseudohistorical writer, Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall, first linked the Holy Grail to contemporary myths surrounding the Knights Templar.

The Holy Grail is traditionally thought to be the cup that Jesus Christ drank from at the Last Supper. 

Joseph of Arimathea, the man who buried the body of Jesus, is thought to have used the cup to collect Jesus's blood at his crucifixion. 

The location of the goblet has been shrouded in mystery for centuries leading to many claimants and conspiracy theories.

There are currently more than 200 locations in Europe claiming to posses the genuine artifact of Holy Grail. 

One of the most prominent of these is the Santo Cáliz, in the Cathedral of Santa María de Valencia in Spain.

Many believe the Santo Cáliz was taken from Jerusalem to Rome by Saint Peter before 100 AD. 

It was later sent to Spain for safekeeping when the Emperor Valerian began to persecute the Christians from 257 AD.

It has also been linked to Glastonbury in Somerset, England, which has been associated with King Arthur.

In the 13th century, a legend arose that Joseph of Arimathea founded Glastonbury Abbey and it is believed he brought with him a collection of holy relics, including the Holy Grail.
