The William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust
In 1961 Higher Kiln Quarry was purchased to protect Joint Mitnor cave and the many features of scientific interest in this long abandoned limestone quarry. The following year it was decided to set the site up as a cave demonstration and research centre. The Association of the William Pengelly Cave Research Centre was set up and became the William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust in 1969.
