Legacy
The article states that During World War II, plans were made to use the caves as a large air-raid shelter if nearby towns were bombed, but Buckinghamshire's rural position meant that High Wycombe and surrounding towns were not an enemy target, and so the plans were not carried out. During the late 1940s and early 1950s the caves were renovated and turned into a local visitor attraction by the late Sir Francis Dashwood (11th Baronet).

How can a guy from the 18th century be still alive in 1950 to renovate the cave? - Weapon X (talk, contribs) 18:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see, Francis Dashwood, 11th Baron le Despencer (2nd Baronet) and Sir Francis Dashwood (11th Baronet) are not one and the same person. - Weapon X (talk, contribs) 19:08, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Was it deeper?
I am 56 now but recall a big hall at the end of the tunnel. After a recent visit I found a small waxworks at the end. It was just not as I remember. 2A00:23EE:1050:BC0F:9423:7791:3CBC:EAF9 (talk) 20:45, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I visited today. There is a big hall (the "Inner Temple") at the end, though it is currently closed because of flooding, though you can look through the gate and see it. ColinFine (talk) 22:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
