"Local resident Dave Green, chairman of the society, expressed excitement over the discovery, stating, 'We decided to follow the myths. People tend to rubbish them - they say they're ridiculous and not true. But we don't believe that. We believe what people say.'"
"The first tunnel was discovered through conversations with elderly residents, while the second was found accidentally. Green described the first discovery as involving a small door embedded in a garden wall, which led to the tunnel."
The Bloxham Underground Tunnel Society confirmed the existence of tunnels beneath Bloxham, Oxfordshire, after extensive investigation. Established in 2024, the society emerged from online discussions about local folklore. Members discovered long, winding tunnels, suggesting they have existed for a significant period. The purpose of the tunnels remains uncertain, with theories linking them to historical escape routes during the Reformation. The society's chairman emphasized the importance of local myths and the value of oral history in uncovering the truth behind these legends.
